Lyrics
Runnin' on Empty
[intro]
[Verse]
I'm rollin' down this empty road
Nothin' but darkness, nowhere to go (nowhere to go)
The tanks running empty, the engine's runnin' low
But I'll keep pushin', won't let go (won't let go)
[Verse 2]
Pedal to the metal, wheels spinning faster and faster
Fuel gauge on empty, but I won't let it matter (can't let it matter)
I'll keep movin' on, I'll keep movin' on (movin' on)
Steppin' on the gas (steppin' on the gas) with a heavy heart (heavy heart)
Chorus]
One last mile, I'll make it through
No matter what it takes, I'll see it through
Just a little farther, the finish line is near
With empty tank of gas, I got nothing to fear
[blues solo]
[Verse 3]
The engine sputters as I push the pedal down
The gas station's miles away in this one-horse town
But I refuse to let this empty tank bring me down
One last mile on an empty tank of gas
I'm gonna make it, gonna make it last
With the wind in my hair and the music loud
I'm gonna keep on going, no turning back now
[Pre-Chorus]
Carn't turn back now
Chorus]
One last mile to go, I'll make it through
No matter what it takes, I'll see it through
Just a little farther, The finish line is near
With this empty tank of gas, I got nothing to fear
[Verse 5]
The gas gauge is low, but I can't let go
I'm pushing my luck, pushing my luck again again
The miles keep on passin', passin' me by
I see the station sign, but I can feel the engine starting to die
I'm runnin' on fumes, runnin' on borrowed time
[chorus 3]
One last mile, one last mile to go
I'm pushin' the pedal to the floor, beggin' for a just a little, a little more
One last mile, one last mile
I can't stop now, or im going to be pushing, for one last mile again, again
[outro]
