I've been drivin' on a cracked-up road Needle past empty but I never slowed Engine knockin', so I turned up the sound Told myself I'd rest when I got to the next town Every sign said pull over, I just squinted and held the line Running on fumes, but I called it fine Said "just a little further" every time Kept the wheels turnin', paid my dues Didn't know how tired I was Running on fumes More weight piled on I found When I was already worn down Didn't know the toll I'd have to pay For pushin' through one more day Spare me the empty platitudes I don't need a new attitude Just time and some grace To not vanish without a trace Running on fumes, but I called it fine Said "just a little further" every time Kept the wheels turnin', paid my dues Didn't know how tired I was Running on fumes
