lyrics
Runnin’ on Empty (Jen Gilbert)
Intro:
1.Runnin’ on empty, tryta make it to the station
Fill up my gas tank, and head home to you | |
2. Helpless and hopeful hyped up on Blues
Runnin’ on empty and I’m runnin’ home to you | |
3.Headin’ down that highway lookin’ for a sign
So I can make it to the pump and then make it home on time (no extra bar)
4.Foot’s on the pedal but the light on the dash
Is tellin’ me I don’t have the gas to make my journey last
Bridge
Went to the doctor, she listened to my heart
Said you are confused, girl, don’t even try to start
Time to pull over, do some work on yourself
Before you will be ready, to love someone else, my darlin’
5.Baby I don’t know, if I can make this go, I am
Runnin’ on empty but I’ll try to make it home
Solo: (Verse pattern)
Bridge
Went to the doctor, she listened to my heart
Said you are confused, girl, don’t even try to start
Time to pull over, do some work on yourself
Before you will be ready, to love someone else, my darlin’
5.Baby I don’t know, if I can make this go, I am
Runnin’ on empty but I’ll try to make it home
5.Baby I don’t know, if I can make this go, I am
Runnin’ on empty but I’ll try .........to make it |home |
