Counting On Me

One could go to jail for taking drugs all night

I do believe the sea bird's flown

Two is in the ground, boy, he turned off that light

When everything was so home grown

Three was such a terrier a tearaway

As bloody blue as she can get

Four would sing so easy with his cowboy sway

Dan Hicks could just walk on the set

I never said I was faultless

But I refuse to take the blame

You know one thing's doubtless

We were all friends by name

Free spirits all turn out the same

The living and the dead, the traffic in your bed

Count it all out, what do you see?

The money that you owe, the love you didn't show

Somewhere tonight, they're counting on me

Five he tore the town up with a trick and a gun

He rolled the car on fisherman's bend

I always bore the mantle of the fortunate one

A story that will never end, a story that will never end

I never said I was faultless

But I refuse to take the blame

You know one thing's doubtless

We were all friends by name

Free spirits all turn out the same

The living and the dead, the traffic in your bed

Count it all out, what do you see?

The money that you owe, the love you didn't show

Somewhere tonight, somewhere, they're counting on me

I never said I was faultless

But I refuse to take the blame

You know one thing's doubtless

We were all friends by name

Free spirits all turn out the same

The living and the dead, the traffic in your bed

Count it all out now, what do you see?

The money that you owe, the love you didn't show

Somewhere tonight, somewhere tonight, they're counting on me
