James Reyne Counting On Me Lyrics

Counting On Me Lyrics

One could go to jail for taking drugs all night

I do believe the
sea-bird's flow-own

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

When everything was so home-grown

Three was such a terrier, a
tearaway-ay, 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 bla-ame

You know one
thing's doubtless

We were all friends by name

Free spirits all turn
out the sa-ame



The living and the dead, the traffic in your head

Count it all out, what do you see-ee?

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

Somewhere tonight they're counting on me-ee



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 e-e-end

A story that will never end



I never said I was faultless

But I refuse to take the bla-ame

You know one thing's doubtless

We were all friends by na-a-a-ame

Free spirits all turn out the sa-ame



The living and the dead,
the traffic in your head

Count it all out - what do you see-ee?

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

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



I never said I was
faultless

But I refuse to take the bla-ame

You know one thing's
doubtless

We were all friends by na-a-a-ame

Free spirits all turn
out the sa-ame



The living and the dead, the traffic in your
head

Count it all out - now what do you see-ee?

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

Somewhere tonight, somewhere
toni-ight

They're counting on me-ee-ee
