Driving home to be with you
  The highway's dividing, the city's in view
  As usual, I'm almost on time
  You're the last thing that's on my mind
  I wish I could tell you the way that I feel
  But tonight is the night I fell asleep at the wheel
    No commotion, no screaming brakes
  Most of it's over before I awake
  From the ceiling, my coffee cup drips
  While out my window, the horizon does flips
  The worst part was hitting the ground -
  Not the feeling so much as the sound
  Can't help but wonder if all this is real
  Cause tonight is the night I fell asleep at the wheel
    Rubberneck traffic and passersby
  And Slow Motion Walter the fire engine guy
  Stand around with their mouths open wide
  I heard some idiot ask if someone's inside
  With the Jaws of Life they tried and they tried
  Nobody here can know how I feel
  Cause tonight is the night I fell asleep at the wheel
    I guess it's over now
  Cause I've never seen so much
  Never seen so much, never seen so much
  Never seen so much, never seen so much
  I guess it's over now
  Cause I've never seen so much
  Never seen so much, never seen so much
  Never seen so much, never seen so much
  So much blood
    In all the confusion, there's something serene
  I'm just a posthumous part of the scene
  Now I'm floating above looking in
  As the radio blares and wheels spin
  I can see my face slump with a grin
  And you...you're the last thing on my mind
  You're the last thing on my mind
  You're the last thing on my mind
  You're the last thing on my mind
