Fell Up in the Backseat

Lyrics

[Intro] Uh, yeah Everybody buckle up Or don't—apparently [Verse 1] I got dizzy by the gas station, laughing at the sign Told my buddy, "I'm perfectly fine," three separate times Keys in the cup holder, shoes kicked by the door I aimed for the front seat, somehow found the floor [Pre-Chorus] My head said, "Take it easy" My knees said, "Not tonight" The backseat caught me sideways Like a beanbag in a fight [Chorus] I got drunk in the car, then I fell up in the backseat One minute standing tall, next minute folded neatly I missed the belt, missed the armrest, missed my dignity I got drunk in the car, fell up in the backseat [Verse 2] My phone slid under the jacket, my hat landed on the glass Somebody yelled, "Don't move," so I tried to move real fast The seat was doing circles, the ceiling looked brand-new I blamed it on the pothole, but everybody knew [Pre-Chorus] My head said, "Take it easy" My knees said, "Not tonight" The backseat caught me sideways Like a beanbag in a fight [Chorus] I got drunk in the car, then I fell up in the backseat One minute standing tall, next minute folded neatly I missed the belt, missed the armrest, missed my dignity I got drunk in the car, fell up in the backseat [Bridge] No keys in my hand, no engine on We called a ride and waited till dawn Water in a bottle, jacket for a pillow Lesson learned the hard way, right there by the window [Final Chorus] I got drunk in the car, then I fell up in the backseat One minute standing tall, next minute folded neatly No driving, no pretending, just a story for the week I got drunk in the car, fell up in the backseat [Outro] Check on your friends Call a ride home And watch that backseat It catches everybody
