Somewhere in north Texas
My father is driving fast
Sleeping through [bad word] strip
While mom’s at home taking a bath

He’s asleep at the wheel

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

He’s asleep at the wheel

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

He’s asleep at the wheel
