The air's so thick that you could cut it with a knife You said 'Life was simple', but I felt tragic, like I knew the song but the words I couldn't find So I sang, "la la la, la la la la" "la la la, la la la" "La la la, la la la la" "la la la, la la", so Put the keys in the car, it'll drive again It'll drive so far that we feel alright again We'll burn a little brighter Shine a little lighter Put the keys in the car and feel alright again (C'mon!) (Alright!) In the second verse, that's when you broke my heart You rolled down your window, said you're sorry Found the usual suspects hanging out in the yard singing "La la la, la la la la" "la la la, la la la" "La la la, la la la la" "la la la, la la" so Put the keys in the car, it'll drive again It'll drive so far that we feel alright again We'll burn a little brighter Shine a little lighter Put the keys in the car and feel alright again (C'mon!) Put the keys in the car, babe, and you'll drive it 'til the end 'Til the end of the world, babe, and you'll turn right back again With the window's down, open top, keep on turning your music up Louder, louder, louder, louder, louder, louder, HEY Alright! Carrying my hurt with me like a business card But I let it go out your window I felt better as soon as I heard those four chords And we sang "La la la, la la la la" "la la la, la la la" "La la la, la la la la" "la la la, la la", so! Put the keys in the car, it'll drive again It'll drive so far that we feel alright again We'll burn a little brighter Shine a little lighter Put the keys in the car and feel alright again (C'mon!) Put the keys in the car, babe, and you'll drive it 'til the end 'Til the end of the world, babe, and you'll turn right back again With the window's down, open top, keep on turning your music up Louder, louder, louder, louder, louder, louder, HEY (Alright!)
