Thom and Becky

Intro

Oh-oh, hey-ya, whoa-oh (la-la)

Accordion and a rolling road, uh-huh

Verse

Thom wakes with sunrise on the dashboard

Coffee in a travel mug, map rolled like a sword

His accordion sleeps beside the captain's chair

He hums a little tune as the engine clears the air

He plays for farmers, for lovers on a Sunday ride

For kids with sticky fingers and a grandma's pride

When the town clock rings, he pockets his fare

Straps on his keys, tips his hat to the open air

Pre-chorus

Becky leaves the ward with two tired shoes

Newborn sleep on her mind and a suitcase with loose screws

She lists the world like a patient on a page

One heartbeat at a time, saving lives and turning the page

Chorus

Thom and Becky, suitcase and song (suitcase and song)

Roadside sunrise and a sky so long (yeah, yeah)

Accordion on the bus, laughter in the aisle

Newborn nurse with a passport smile

Thom and Becky, hey-oh, hey-oh

Thom and Becky, la-la, go, go

Verse

Becky stamps a passport between rounds

Names in a notebook, sleepy town sounds

She counts the little miracles, holds them close at night

Then folds her scrubs into a bag and chases morning light

They trade shift change for an airport gate

He plays a polka for a seaside state

She charts a course for a market by the sea

They sleep on rooftops where the moon sings free

Bridge

From cobblestone plazas to a diner on Route Six

From mountain passes to a backstreet fix

He squeezes bellows, she hums a lullaby

They collect the world in the corner of their eyes

(la-la, oh-oh) whoa-oh, whoa-oh

Chorus

Thom and Becky, suitcase and song (suitcase and song)

Roadside sunrise and a sky so long (yeah, yeah)

Accordion on the bus, laughter in the aisle

Newborn nurse with a passport smile

Thom and Becky, hey-oh, hey-oh

Thom and Becky, la-la, go, go

Verse

They tip their hat to sunsets over foreign seas

Dance on a ferry, barefoot and easy

He teaches a stranger how to play a simple tune

She teaches a mother how to count past noon

Postcards from markets pinned up by their bed

Tickets and teacups and the words they said

No plans too big, no town too small

Every road a story, every border just a wall

Pre-chorus

They keep a little map with places circled in ink

A stitch of names that pull them back when they need to think

She keeps the babies safe, he keeps the music loud

They go where the day is honest and the people are proud

Chorus

Thom and Becky, suitcase and song (suitcase and song)

Roadside sunrise and a sky so long (yeah, yeah)

Accordion on the bus, laughter in the aisle

Newborn nurse with a passport smile

Thom and Becky, hey-oh, hey-oh

Thom and Becky, la-la, go, go

Outro

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh (la-la)

Thom and Becky on the road again, yeah

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh (la-la)

Suitcase and song, suitcase and song
