23 Days

(album: Fortuneteller's Melody - 2006)

My name looks unfamiliar on this barky marky sign
And the love that I've been getting I can't really call it mine
This blacktop ribbon winds me down an unforgiving 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
