A Soundtrack for my Life

Counting Blue Cars

“Counting Blue Cars” is a song by the alternative rock band Dishwalla that appears on their 1995 album Pet Your Friends. It was Dishwalla’s only hit song, making it onto the Billboard Hot 100 and the Top 40 in 1996. It is mostly about wanting to know about God’s ambitions and wanting to ensure one’s eternal destiny. The song is instantly recognizable by the line in the chorus, “Tell me all your thoughts on God (cause I’d really like to meet her).”

Must of been mid afternoon
I could tell by how far the child’s shadow stretched out and
He walked with a purpose
In his sneakers, down the street
He had, many questions
Like children often do
He said,
Tell me all your thoughts on God?
Tell me am I very far?

Must of been late afternoon
On our way the sun broke free of the clouds
We count only blue cars
Skip the cracks, in the street
And ask many questions
Like children often do
We said,
Tell me all your thoughts on God?
‘Cause I would really like to meet her.
And ask her why we’re who we are.
Tell me all your thoughts on God,
Cause I am on my way to see her.
So tell me am I very far -
Am I very far now?

Its getting cold picked up the pace
How our shoes make hard noises in this place
Our clothes are stained
We pass many, cross eyed people
And ask many questions
Like children often do

Tell me all your thoughts on God?
‘Cause I would really like to meet her.
And ask her why we’re who we are.
Tell me all your thoughts on God?
‘Cause I am on my way to see her.
So tell me am I very far?
Am I very far now
Am I very far now
Am I very far now
