Air 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, and it'll drive again
It'll drive so far that we feel alright again
We'll burn a little brighter
Shine a little lighter when
You 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, and it'll drive again
It'll drive so far that we feel alright again
Wе'll burn a little brighter
Shine a littlе lighter when
You 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, and it'll drive again
It'll drive so far that we feel alright again
We'll burn a little brighter
Shine a little lighter when
You 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!
