Spirogyra - Counting the Cars lyrics

I'm counting the number of cars Rolling into my life Broken by alibis Running from all those lies Watching a number of dreams Flowing away from me Bum lifts from heavy loads Burn wheels on southern roads Feel the distance that I put between Me and my childhood Hang on to what remains Leave trails of broken chains High tail for Spanish Mains Feeling I'm lost in my way Too proud to lift my eyes and say Life's not the same as I Thought that it might have been Heard a lot of places such as these I remember stories, pirates, the seas, the breeze Bum lifts from heavy loads Burn wheels on southern roads
