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] [Verse] Walking down the crowded streets Neon lights Strangers that I meet Getting lost in the city's haze But I don't mind It's just a phase I'm searching for something new A feeling that's real Something true In this concrete jungle I roam Looking for a place I can call home [Verse 2] Loud sirens and honking cars People rushing It's a life bizarre But I keep moving through the crowd Heartbeat pounding Oh so loud
