Asleep at the Wheel
Win Butler
[Verse 1]
Somewhere in north Texas
My father is driving fast
Sleepin' through the rumble strip
While mom's at home taking a bath
[Chorus]
He's asleep at the wheel
Asleep at the wheel
Asleep at the, asleep at the wheel
[Verse 2]
In my backyard in north Texas
On the hottest summer night
Hummingbirds fall all 'round us
Their hearts stopped beating mid-flight
[Chorus]
He's asleep at the wheel
Asleep at the wheel
Asleep at the, asleep at the wheel
[Bridge]
Amputation
Irrigation
[?] is falling
Hold your station
[Verse 3]
You wanna hear the funny part?
My father knows these old rooms
Twice as well as any one of us
[Chorus]
He's asleep at the wheel
Asleep at the wheel
Asleep at the, asleep at the wheel
[Outro]
Daddy please wake up, Daddy please wake up, soon
