Partner in Crime

It was a dream that we'd always both had
To pack a bag, get in the car
And say bye to Mums and Dad
Only known each other a year
But it didn't matter to us
If we'd only had the money
We would've been gone for months
February, two-zero-one-eight, inside my ten-year-old Focus
We focused on the other states
First to Wagga, then Coonabarabran
I never thought I'd get that into a lyric
But here I am
Through Goondiwindi then onto the coast
It was a dream come true
We raised our plastic cups in a toast

My partner in crime, wherever the wind blows
You will be mine, and I will be your
(Your) getaway ride
So let's, drive on, drive on

We found the beach, found some peace
Found some valleys, we felt some peaks
And then the days became weeks
The sand was warm, and the love was sweet
Read books, drank wine
Lived rough, lived fine
Hervey Bay was the north-most stay
And what a place to enjoy the most sunset days, okay
South now on our way back home
Still lots of people to meet and lots of roads to roam
Truth be told we mostly kept to ourselves
All alone, just enjoying the view outside of our windows

My partner in crime, wherever the wind blows
You will be mine, and I will be your
(Your) getaway ride
So let's, drive on, drive on

Last stop that we really wanted to knock off
Kosciuszko, just get to the top
Food packed and a slip-slop-slap
We hit the track hard
And we never thought about looking back
We had our arguments, and our silent shouts
It's funny but I cannot remember what we were fighting about
At the top, everything was alright though
It was a sight to behold
We made it, all across this land
Over 5000 Ks, always holding your hand
And I know you're scared of heights
But just look into my eyes
We'll conquer every mountain if it takes all night

My partner in crime, wherever the wind blows
You will be mine, and I will be your
(Your) getaway ride
So let's, drive on, drive on
