Somewhere in north Texas My father is driving fast Sleeping through the rumble 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
