23 Days

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 unforgivin' road
When I think about my baby on the other side of home
I say oh, oh, oh, I gotta go, I say oh, oh, ohHey, 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, yeahAnother song gets crippled on this napkin in my lap
As we burn another circle on this God forsaken map
The droning of the engines and the moaning of the wheels
It's a fortune teller's melody, it's how you make me feel
I say oh, oh, oh, I gotta go, I say oh, oh, ohHey, 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 youYeah, Albuquerque's never felt colder
One mile higher all the way to Boulder
Oklahoma City always looks pretty
'Cause it's half way homeYeah, windshield wipers, broken white lines
Lord, don't let me lose my mind
23 days of Tennessee time
And I'm back to you, oh, oh, yeah, yeah, yeahHey, 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
Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, yeah
