lyrics

Finished the party in a fog
My pint had long since lost its frost
Wandered the compound like a dog
Just searching for the keys that I had lost

When I found them in the freezer
That’s when my ol’ friend shook her head
Said I‘d be staying just to please her
Went outside looking for my ride instead

And when I found it on that back street
I stumbled blindly to my car
As I fell fast into that driver’s seat
I knew I wouldn’t drive too far...

Put the keys in the ignition
And turned that radio full blast
It was my drunken intuition
That set my weary head down on that dash

Put the keys in the ignition
Fell asleep there in that seat behind the wheel
I didn’t even ask permission
I always act exactly as I feel

The next day when my friends had found me
Oh they were so relieved to see I’d stayed
They came and circled all around me
They thought I might have driven to my grave

When my friends had finally found me
They were so over-joyed to see I’d stayed
They wrapped their loving arms around me
They thought I might had driven to my grave

I put the keys in the ignition
I turned that radio full blast
My night had come to its fruition
My dreams of driving myself home had passed

I put the keys in the ignition
I fell asleep there in that seat behind the wheel
I didn’t even ask permission
I always act exactly as I feel
