Narrative:

During checks after engine start, copilot received taxi clearance from west ramp to runway 22 on north txwys. I was not listening closely as was preoccupied with some checks after starting. Copilot informed me of route of taxi, stating we should follow aircraft ahead of us. At hold line for runway 22R, I asked if we were cleared to cross and other pilot said yes. Slowly approaching runway 22R, tower said stop and we did -- just short of runway 22R, but past hold line. He informed us we had only been given clearance to runway 22R, not runway 22L. There was no traffic landing and we were given clearance to take off runway 22R. Thank goodness the tower controller caught this or I might have taxied in front of landing traffic. Next time out, I will pay attention and not expect the other pilot to be able to relay taxi clearance.
