Henry Ballard - Partner in Crime Lyrics

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
