Fumes

Verse 1

Gas

Rust on the wheel

The desert wind tastes like old pennies

Blowing through the cracks

Shaking

Loose nuts and bolts rattle

I see the mountains move

Slow

Miles and miles of gray highway

Chorus

Running on the fumes of yesterday

Running on the fumes of yesterday

Running on the fumes of yesterday

My Bronco knows the way

My Bronco knows the way

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh

Far away

Oh oh oh

Gone today

Verse 2

Stopped

Small town diner

Coffee burned black and bitter

The waitress never smiled

Dust

Caked on the leather seats

Left my keys

Found my peace

I am a ghost in the grain of the map

Driving

Heavy hands on the plastic

Watching the hawks circle high

Sky

Open and empty and wide

Chorus

Running on the fumes of yesterday

Running on the fumes of yesterday

Running on the fumes of yesterday

My Bronco knows the way

My Bronco knows the way

Bridge

No more clocks ticking on the wall

No more calls waiting in the hall

No more shadows standing tall

Just the engine

Just the heat

Just the road

Guitar Solo

Verse 3

Fast

Passing the trucks

White lines become a blur

Thinking of nothing

Home

Is a shifting state of mind

Beyond the pines

Left behind

Broken glass glitters in the ditch

Chorus

Running on the fumes of yesterday

Running on the fumes of yesterday

Running on the fumes of yesterday

My Bronco knows the way

My Bronco knows the way

Outro

Across the border

Past the canyon

Into the sun

Headed West

Still driving

Still driving

Still driving
