Lyrics
The Hippos
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It's two in the morning, I'm tired as hell.
What am I doing behind the wheel?
The lights have all blurred into a row.
How long I'll be up, I just don't know.
I'm falling asleep, asleep at the wheel,
this feels like a dream but this is real.
I've got a lot on my mind,
I've been driving all night.
You can bet I'll be driving when out comes the light.
I've been on the road so long that I'm gonna crack,
I've been "On the road" longer than Jack Kerouac.
(Chorus)
