Bloodhound Gang - Asleep At The Wheel

Seventh track of the One Fierce Beer Coaster (LP) by Bloodhound Gang released in 3rd December, 1996. (C) 1996 Geffen Records, Inc.
Lyrics by Jimmy Pop.

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
Pack 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 rattle 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 takin' it down legal, I'm pullin' it up to no good
God is your copilot, I let Satan ride shotgun
You pay a toll to get to Heaven
But on the road to Hell there's none

You got your Jesus on the dashboard
But the Devil's under my hood
You're takin' it down legal, I'm pullin' it up to no good
God is your copilot, I let Satan ride shotgun
You pay a toll to get to Heaven
But on the road to Hell there's none

Get up you're asleep at the wheel
Get up you're asleep at the wheel
Get up you're asleep at the wheel
Get up you're asleep at the wheel
Get up you're asleep at the wheel
Get up you're asleep at the wheel
Get up you're asleep at the wheel
Get up you're asleep at the wheel

I-95 eight lanes wide, midnight drive take a ride
Alongside east coast tide, gettin' 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 jumstartin' my soul
Set my mind on cruise control

You got your Jesus on the dashboard
But the Devil's under my hood
You're takin' it down legal, I'm pullin' it up to no good
God is your copilot, I let Satan ride shotgun
You pay a toll to get to Heaven
But on the road to hell there's none

You got your Jesus on the dashboard
But the Devil's under my hood
You're takin' it down legal, I'm pullin' it up to no good
God is your copilot, I let Satan ride shotgun
You pay a toll to get to Heaven
But on the road to hell there's none

Get up you're asleep at the wheel
Get up you're asleep at the wheel
Get up you're asleep at the wheel
Get up you're asleep at the wheel
Get up you're asleep at the wheel
Get up you're asleep at the wheel
Get up you're asleep at the wheel
Get up you're asleep at the wheel

24-7 Truck Stop Plaza
Turn off headlights turn on hazards
3 A.M. is when I gazed
Eyes glazed I'm dazed and then I fade
To black now were 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 takin' it down legal, I'm pullin' it up to no good
God is your copilot, I let Satan ride shotgun
You pay a toll to get to Heaven
But on the road to hell there's none

You got your Jesus on the dashboard
But the Devil's under my hood
You're takin' it down legal, I'm pullin' it up to no good
God is your copilot, I let Satan ride shotgun
You pay a toll to get to Heaven
But on the road to hell there's none

Get up you're asleep at the wheel
Get up you're asleep at the wheel
Get up you're asleep at the wheel
Get up you're asleep at the wheel
Get up you're asleep at the wheel
Get up you're asleep at the wheel
Get up you're asleep at the wheel
Get up you're asleep at the wheel
Get up you're asleep at the wheel
Get up you're asleep at the wheel
Get up you're asleep at the wheel
Get up you're asleep at the wheel
Get up you're asleep at the wheel
Get up you're asleep at the wheel
Get up you're asleep at the wheel
Get up you're asleep at the wheel
Get up you're asleep at the wheel
Get up you're asleep at the wheel
Get up you're asleep at the wheel
Get up you're asleep at the wheel
Get up you're asleep at the wheel

That chorus is genuinely scary. It sounds like music that'd play in your head if you'd actually fallen asleep at the wheel and were about to crash.

[TheMrsmartass]

Jimmy Pop is crazy in this song, those verses sound like one take, and each rise in their own intensity and have amazing lyrical flow.

Not only are they done in one take, but the first and second verses are done on a single breath each. The noise at the beginning is him breathing into the Mic to make his lungs hold ad much as possible. And then dubbed into the beginning of the song like it's a sound effect. You hear it several times during the song but dubbed in.

[tairyhestical]

how is this song not a freakin hit? this is amazing

[playamoth]

I never get tired listening to this song. Really surprised it's not a big hit.

[twokharacters]

Back in like 96, I Skipped school to see BHG and Mighty Might Bosstones. Was a real good time.

[SebuWayne]

[alldamnnamesaretaken]

their lyrics where so awesome they seem complete randomness sometimes but then you realize how much sense they make!

Man can't believe I was 17 when I bought this cd! good times!

[kaiserklovis]

This song got me home so any times..

[EveryonesFavoriteEnby]

I always thought it was "get up go to sleep at the wheel" about multi day drives

[kalbossa]

bloodhound gang makes such incredible songs

[TheOregonducksbaby]

Jimmy pop raps so fast and ridiculous it's insane if u really think about it

[melissas]

They are underrated because no one takes them seriously anyway. Haha I think this is one of their best songs.

[thelonelywolf]

GET UP!!!
YOU'RE ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL!!!

how could you not sing along to that?

[Adam-nwum]

Singing along to songs is a great way to stay awake while driving and feeling tired. Ironically, while this song has the same effect it’s impossible to sing more than half unless you’re Jimmy Pop or Eminem

[TheSquadOFtwo]

This song literally just keeps playing, the YouTube timer has just kept adding time... No complaints
