[Verse 1] In the backseat of my heart, there's someone sayin' I'm a mess I couldn't get the car to start, my keys are somewhere in the mess I fell asleep outside the door and found a letter in the morning I couldn't make it out although I recognized my own handwriting [Chorus] We are not a proud race It's not a race at all We're just trying I'm only trying to get home Drunk drivers, drunk drivers [Verse 2] I hate to say it but, baby, this could be our fate Sitting here in silence while you lie beside me and wait for the song to end But if we learn how to live like this, baby, we can learn how to start again I'll make that song right, I'll play it again and again and again [Chorus] We are not a proud race It's not a race at all We're just trying I'm only trying to get home Drunk drivers, drunk drivers This is not a good thing I don't mean to rationalize Or try and explain it away It's not okay Drunk drivers, drunk drivers [Bridge] It doesn't have to be like this It doesn't have to be like this It doesn't have to be like this k**er whales, k**er whales It doesn't have to be like this It doesn't have to be like this It doesn't have to be like this k**er whales, k**er whales [Outro] And if you can't find your friends, you can leave without 'em And if you run out of d**, you can sleep without 'em, I know you can And if you want to go home, you can call a taxi And if you don't want to talk, you can sit in the backseat
