About ten months out of the year we're going down the road, and so I find I have,

you know,

plenty to occupy myself or my

mind while we go down the road, you know.

I've got exit numbers and route numbers and the clock in the car, you know,

and the coincidences that happen

you know as you're going down the road,

you know, it's like

Exit 357 or something and you look at the clock and it's 357

and that's just really exciting to me

So, I mean because I find one gases

But um

you know these things, know kind of keep me going to the next

mile perhaps maybe and

And because I'm a numbers

person, I enjoy numbers.

I like to calculate them

and make them work.

I like that they always work.

know, and it's like numbers are just like real,


they're factual, you know.

Words, I like words,

but they're just iffy, you know.

And, you know, calculations,

equations,

they just,

you know, you can resolve them.

And even if you have to pull wild cards,


I mean, there is an answer.

and so that's why I like numbers but

I mean you know I'm just driving and I

find well maybe the clock says 536 well

I multiply the 5 and the 3 and that

makes 15 the 1 and the 5 adds up to 6 I still

have 6 left over from the 536

those cancel each other out that makes

zero and then I'm okay with that you

I do most of the driving.

If you see us coming down the 101,

either way.

Well, I wrote this next song.

I was driving up from

South

Carolina to

Massachusetts.

Of course, I would take the 77 to the 81,


and that's three sevens,

if you think about it,

well, for a little while.

And that's lucky,

so I'll leave that alone.
