"Chariot" is a single by Gavin DeGraw released in 2005, taken from his 2003 album Chariot. It's believed the song addresses the overwhelming feeling Gavin felt when he moved to New York from his rural hometown. In the song, he is supposedly pleading for a chariot to come and take him home (i.e. "You'll be my vacation away from this place/ You know what I want").
The single was another success for Gavin DeGraw and reached the top 40 of the U.S. Hot 100. It was certified Platinum. It was also featured prominently in an episode of Dead Like Me.
