Counting Headlights

Verse

Broke into a motel room on a fender with one good tire

Sweat in my collar where the air conditioning won't fire

Pre-Chorus

Counting headlights down the main line

You're not gone yet, and I'm still driving

Chorus

Hold your breath where the streetlights fade

Don't let go until the sun comes up again

We'll outrun every shadow that we made

And if this night ends with nothing left to win

Verse 2

Gas station attendant watching us leave a cloud of smoke

He says 'good luck' like he means it, but I know what he's writing in his book

Pre-Chorus

Counting headlights down the main line

You're not gone yet, and I'm still driving

Chorus

Hold your breath where the streetlights fade

Don't let go until the sun comes up again

We'll outrun every shadow that we made

And if this night ends with nothing left to win

Bridge

Maybe tomorrow we get to decide what kind of noise we make

Chorus

Hold your breath where the streetlights fade

Don't let go until the sun comes up again

We'll outrun every shadow that we made

And if this night ends with nothing left to win
