Asleep At The Wheel
The Bloodhound Gang
Bloodhounds shall cruise
Rendezvous
Break curfew
New trip ensues
You never know Bloodhounds just go
Pack backpack up for down the road
No change of clothes
But change for tolls
Packs of No-Doz, Rolos, and Skoal,
Old Milwaukee, Jolt, black coffee,
Sugar Daddy, Rand McNally,
A pack of Jacks, those orange Tic-Tacs
Glen Miller tracks, roll of Kodak
The phantom black stacked Pontiac
Hot rod, dual quads, and in the back
Is the beat keeper big ass speaker
Jumbo woofer, rumble tweeter
Dial is turned and there it's stayin'
The next day where Stern is playin'

You got your Jesus on the dashboard
But the devil's under my hood
You're taking it down to legal
I'm pullin' it up to no good
God is your co-pilot
I let Satan ride shotgun
You pay a toll to get to heaven
But on the road to hell's there's none

Get up you're asleep at the wheel

I-95 eight lanes wide
Midnight drive
Take a ride
Alongside east coast tide
Getting high?
So am I
Bloodshot red eyes from the fumes
I consume
Engine zoom then engine boom
Then engine glow, erupt, and blow
And overflow like volcano
So far to go
Can't turn back though
Cheap tobacco, cup of black Joe
Fuelin' my body, jumpstartin' my soul
Set my mind on cruise control

You got your Jesus on the dashboard
But the devil's under my hood
You're taking it down to legal
I'm pullin' it up to no good
God is your co-pilot
I let Satan ride shotgun
You pay a toll to get to heaven
But on the road to hell's there's none

Get up you're asleep at the wheel

24/7 Truck Stop Plaza
Turn off headlights, turn on hazards
Three a.m. is when I gazed
Eyes glazed, I'm dazed,
And then I fade to black
Now we're back
'On The Road' like Kerouac
Down the turnpike, high rate of speed
Up all night like Gilbert Gottfried

You got your Jesus on the dashboard
But the devil's under my hood
You're taking it down to legal
I'm pullin' it up to no good
God is your co-pilot
I let Satan ride shotgun
You pay a toll to get to heaven
But on the road to hell's there's none

Get up you're asleep at the wheel
