Numbers

.
Im doin seventy-two in a sixty-five,
On I-24 in a four-wheel drive
Got a ten oclock on Eighteenth Avenue
And theres a thirty percent chance of rain all week
And the high today is gonna be eighty-three
Theyre playing Highway 101 on 102.5
An eighteen wheeler by my side
.
Numbers all around, flying by, up and down,
Some as slow as Christmas coming,
Some like the speed of sound,
And we all wonder, what they mean,
The highs, the lows, the in betweens,
Most of them mean absolutely nothing
But some of them mean everything
.
I met her at 9:15 on my buddys back porch
Shootin bottle rockets on July fourth
We were both nineteen and she was a perfect 10,
.
Then three years later neath a million stars,
In my F-150 on her granddads farm,
I slipped a half-carat diamond on the third finger,
of her left hand
And asked to be her one and only man
.
Numbers all around, flying by, up and down,
Some as slow as Christmas coming,
Some like the speed of sound,
And we all wonder, what they mean,
The highs, the lows, the in betweens,
Most of them mean absolutely nothing
But some of them mean everything
.
John 3:16, the Fab four,
The fifty yard line, the thirteenth floor,
9/11, the dirty dozen,
Were all waiting on the Second Coming
.
Numbers all around, flying by, up and down,
Some as slow as Christmas coming,
Some like the speed of sound,
And we all wonder, what they mean,
The highs, the lows, the in betweens,
Most of them mean absolutely nothing,
Oh most of them mean absolutely nothing,
But some of them mean everything
Oh numbers
.
Im doin seventy-two in a sixty -five,
On I-24 in a four-wheel drive
Got a ten oclock on Eighteenth Avenue
