Counting Headlights lyrics
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
