Lyrics
Verse 1
Tank's been dry since Tuesday
Motor's sputtering low
Pockets full of nothing
Got nowhere left to go
Saw a diner glowing
Past the railroad track
Lights hum like a promise
But I'm never going back
Pre-Chorus
One more mile on borrowed time
One more prayer to the gasoline gods
Chorus
Running on fumes
Running on dreams
Half a coconut cake
And a pocketful of lint
Running on fumes
Coming apart at the seams
Verse 2
Mama's ring is pawned now
Silver gone for bread
Daddy's old watch ticked out
Long before I fled
Hitchhiked through the valley
Where the radio goes dead
Singing to the cornfields
Every word I ever said
Pre-Chorus
One more mile on borrowed time
One more coin for the payphone ahead
Chorus
Running on fumes
Running on dreams
Half a coconut cake
And a pocketful of lint
Running on fumes
Coming apart at the seams
Bridge
Empty tank
Empty heart
Empty road
But I keep rolling on
Empty glass
Empty purse
Empty arms
But I keep rolling on
Guitar Solo
Chorus
Running on fumes
Running on dreams
Half a coconut cake
And a pocketful of lint
Running on fumes
Coming apart at the seams
Coming apart at the seams
Coming apart at the seams
Outro
Fumes
Fumes
Oh-oh-oh
Fumes
