After a long night's work he wanted to come home to his wife. She would be
waiting for him, hopefully with dinner on the table....but of course it was
10:30, a little late for dinner...He couldn't believe he was working on
Christmas Eve. This absolutely sucked. There was ice all over the parking
lot and the roads and snow lay everywhere else. He got out to his car and
noticed that he was the only one left at work-typical. He turned on his car
and started to back out. He didn't realize how tired he was until he
started driving. He then remembered he told her he would be home at 10:45
that night-so he technically wasn't late yet.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Driving home to be with you
The highway's dividing, the city's in view
As usual, I'm almost on time
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
His eyes flicked open and shut constantly. He was about to fall asleep, but he had to stay awake. He realized that that morning, he had had a fight with his wife and had not said goodbye to her before he left.....she was probably still mad at him. This was his last thought before he closed his eyes and fell asleep-not seeing the traffic that was before him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You're the last thing that's on my mind
I wish I could tell you the way that I feel
But tonight is the night I fell asleep at the wheel
No commotion, no screaming brakes
Most of it's over before I awake
From the ceiling, my coffee cup drips
While out my window, the horizon does flips
The worst part was hitting the ground -
Not the feeling so much as the sound
Can't help but wonder if all this is real
Cause tonight is the night I fell asleep at the wheel
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Everything was upside down and he felt like fainting because of the flames that arose from his car. He saw flashing lights and heard sirens. His saviors.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rubberneck traffic and passersby
And Slow Motion Walter the fire engine guy
Stand around with their mouths open wide
I heard some idiot ask if someone's inside
With the Jaws of Life they tried and they tried
Nobody here can know how I feel
Cause tonight is the night I fell asleep at the wheel
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He looked down and saw that he had a huge gash in his stomach and knew it wouldn't be long.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I guess it's over now
Cause I've never seen so much
Never seen so much, never seen so much
Never seen so much, never seen so much
I guess it's over now
Cause I've never seen so much
Never seen so much, never seen so much
Never seen so much, never seen so much
So much blood
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He remembered a moment he had had with his wife a few weeks earlier: Christmas. They had exchanged gifts with one another and kissed passionately under the mistletoe....it had been perfect. Something else special happened that day: she had told him that she was pregnant, that they were going to have a baby....he was going to be a father....now his child would never know his true father.....just like himself. His eyes closed slowly as he thought of her. She was his life and his love.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In all the confusion, there's something serene
I'm just a posthumous part of the scene
Now I'm floating above looking in
As the radio blares and wheels spin
I can see my face slump with a grin
And you...you're the last thing on my mind
You're the last thing on my mind
You're the last thing on my mind
You're the last thing on my mind

A/N: hey! I just thought I'd write a song fic for a slight change! This song was by Barenaked Ladies and it's called: Tonight is the Night I fell Asleep at the Wheel- now please push that button and review!
