Count to Twenty-Two

Verse

Saltwater drying on the dashboard glass

Radio static where the dial went loose

Forty-nine dollars to our name in cash

Fuel for three hundred miles of open road

You said we'd chase the sunset down to nothing

I said that's a whole lotta nothing, let's go

Pre-Chorus

So what do you say when everyone thinks we're crazy

That we'll never make it past the county line

Chorus

We're counting on twenty-two dollars and the wind

Nothing in our pockets but whatever we can find

Somehow tonight feels like forever's mine

So we keep on singing this reckless life of mine

Count to twenty-two, let it take us anywhere tonight

Hands up high and the headlights cutting through

Verse

Cigarette smoke curling off the open window

Stars so close I thought they were supposed to be

Your jacket zipped over my shoulder like a promise

Every mile marker's just another year we're living for

Pre-Chorus

So what do you say when everyone thinks we're crazy

That we'll never make it past the county line

Chorus

We're counting on twenty-two dollars and the wind

Nothing in our pockets but whatever we can find

Somehow tonight feels like forever's mine

So we keep on singing this reckless life of mine

Count to twenty-two, let it take us anywhere tonight

Hands up high and the headlights cutting through

Bridge

Maybe someday they'll call this poverty

Not a freedom I wouldn't trade for every city block

Right now I don't need a map or money

I just need you to keep on driving with me

Chorus

We're counting on twenty-two dollars and the wind

Nothing in our pockets but whatever we can find

Somehow tonight feels like forever's mine

So we keep on singing this reckless life of mine

Count to twenty-two, let it take us anywhere tonight

Hands up high and the headlights cutting through
