we both needed a break 'cause we knew som'n wasn't right
i thought i'd take a trip, got in the car and headed west
my life was stuck in places that i never would have guessed
just two important questions were filling up my mind
"how did i get here?" and "where the hell am i?"
"how did i get here?" and "where the hell am i?"
was i too busy thinking wrong to ever wonder why?
should i just give up or maybe have another try
"how did i get here?" and "where the hell am i?"
it was just outside of Lubbock, where i made a fateful turn
i didn't know my way around but i figured i would learn
i stopped beside a honky-tonk to get a little rest
a custom silver bus pulled up just for a special guest
a man in mirror shades stepped out, said "would you be so kind"
tell me "how did i get here?" and "where the hell am i?"
"how did i get here?" and "where the hell am i?"
i told him that i felt the same and we went for a ride
inside them boys were smokin' things that really blew my mind
"how did i get here?" and "where the hell am i?"
the next thing i remember i was in some foreign land
pickin' and a singing songs i did not understand
things were kinda fuzzy, was it Ft. Worth or Hong Kong
i couldn't tell the difference, but it sounded like a song
the answers to some questions, here's two don't ever try
"how did i get here?" and "where the hell am i?"
"how did i get here?" and "where the hell am i?"
put your best foot forward, never stop to wonder why
i'm going back to Dallas and i'll stay there til i die
that's how i got here is how i'll testify
