From Denver to California
By way of Mexico
We're lost and we're finding each other
And we may never see the west coast
We may never see the west coast

We're taking it slow
But for now, we're two down
And forty eight to go

Missed an exit in Albuquerque
We don't seem to mind at all
We pull over, the sun is burning
And we lay down to feel the rain fall

We're taking it slow
But for now, we're two down
And forty eight to go

The desert wind blowing your hair back
Window down, town after town
Where will we be in half a century?
Two down and forty eight to go

The sun rises in Bernardino
Some time after six A.M.
You take twenty seven up old canyon road
Sometimes you win before you run
Sometimes you win before
We got forty eight, forty eight to go

Forty eight, forty eight, yeah
Come on baby
Come on darling
Forty eight to go

    My Opinion:this is one of my favorite songs in the new album, at first i thought the song was just talking about two lovers on a road trip, but, the road trip is a metaphor for their life together....and the miles are the years....they have been together for 2 years, and there is 48 more to go....(where will we be in half a century-50 years-2+48=50daah:))
    they are taking life slowly(we are taking it slow), savoring each moment(we lay down to feel the rainfall),they are in no hurry to arrive at their final destination, death(there is a joke somewhere in there if you have watched the movie:p)...
    i saw these guys live a week ago....i told isaac to play this song, he just smiled...he didnt play it, but that was the highest point of my life!)))
