Counting On Me Lyrics - Singles - James Reyne

One could go to jail for taking drugs all night 

I do believe the sea bird's flown 

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

When everything was so home grown 

Three was such a terrier a tearaway 

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 blame 

You know one thing's doubtless 

We were all friends by name 

Free spirits all turn out the same 

The living and the dead, the traffic in your bed 

Count it all out, what do you see? 

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

Somewhere tonight, they're counting on me 

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 end, a story that will never end 

I never said I was faultless 

But I refuse to take the blame 

You know one thing's doubtless 

We were all friends by name 

Free spirits all turn out the same 

The living and the dead, the traffic in your bed 

Count it all out, what do you see? 

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

Somewhere tonight, somewhere, they're counting on me 

I never said I was faultless 

But I refuse to take the blame 

You know one thing's doubtless 

We were all friends by name 

Free spirits all turn out the same 

The living and the dead, the traffic in your bed 

Count it all out now, what do you see? 

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

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