23 Days

My name looks unfamiliar on this barky marky sign

And the love that I've been gettin' I can't really call it mine

This blacktop ribbon winds me down an unforgivin' road

When I think about my baby on the other side of home

I say oh, oh-oh-oh, oooh, I gotta go

I say oh, oh-oh-oh, oooh

Hey, hey, hey, on my way

23 days gone by, why can't eagles fly

Hey, hey, hey, love don't break

23 nights of blue carry me back to you

Yeah

Another song gets crippled on this napkin in my lap

As we burn another circle on this god forsaken map

The droaning of the engines and the moaning of the wheels

It's a fortuneteller's melody, it's how you make me feel

I say oh, oh-oh-oh, oooh, I gotta go

I say oh, oh-oh-oh, oooh

Hey, hey, hey, on my way

23 days gone by why can't eagles fly

Hey, hey, hey ,love don't break

23 nights of blue carry me back to you

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

Yeah, Albuquerque's never felt colder

One mile higher all the way to Boulder

Okalahoma City always looks pretty

'Cause it's half way home

Yeah, windshield wipers, broken white lines

Lord, don't let me loose my mind

'Cause 23 days of Tennessee time

And I'm back to you

Ooooh, oh-oh-oh, oooh, yeah, yeah, yeah

Hey, hey, hey, on my way

23 days gone by why can't eagles fly

Hey, hey, hey, love don't break

23 nights of blue carry me back to you

Whoa-oh, whoa-ooooh

Whoa-oh, whoa-ooooh, oh

Whoa-oh, whoa-ooooh

Whoa-oh, whoa-ooooh, yeah
