Asleep At the Wheel
Nodding off is a big part of my life now
I've reached that magical age
Sit down to watch my most favourite show
And wake up later in a rage
My favourite show, damn well missed it again
Haven't seen it for maybe a year
For all I know they cancelled the damn thing
Been one of my very worst fears
My biggest scare is nodding off at the wheel
Once it scared me to death
Woke up with a start, but still on the road
Pulled over as you might have guessed
Sat there shaking uncontrollably for a while
Till I was ready to get back on the road
The first and last time it happened to me
Still a horrible feeling of forebode
