Somewhere in north Texas
My father is driving fast
Sleepin' through the rumble strip
While mom's at home taking a bath

He's asleep at the wheel
Asleep at the wheel
Asleep at the, asleep at the wheel

In my backyard in north Texas
On the hottest summer night
Hummingbirds fall all 'round us
Their hearts stopped beating mid-flight

He's asleep at the wheel
Asleep at the wheel
Asleep at the, asleep at the wheel

Amputation
Irrigation
is falling
Hold your station

You wanna hear the funny part?
My father knows these old rooms
Twice as well as any one of us

He's asleep at the wheel
Asleep at the wheel
Asleep at the, asleep at the wheel

Daddy please wake up, Daddy please wake up, soon
