Empty Tank of Gas (SAT Original)

Bluebird Cafe November 18, 2011 "In the round with MTSU" special guests Casey Kelly and Leslie Ellis. Special thanks to Hal Newman for inviting me to play, Casey Kelly for accompaniment and Stacy Thompson for the video.

Verse 1:
I'm off to find my inner gypsy soul,
Don't ask where I'm headed cause I don't know.
Maybe out of the mountains and into the plains,
Somewhere I don't have to hear your name.

Verse 2:
The road that we used to go down,
Is nothin' but a tiny dot in the rearview now.
Yeah I'm gonna do just like I should,
They all say time and space will do me some good.




BUT FOR EVERY MILE I MAKE, ALL I WANNA DO IS TAP THE BRAKES,
AND GO BACK TO THE WAY THINGS USED TO BE.
CAUSE EVEN WITH BOTH HANDS ON THE WHEEL, IT DON'T MAKE IT ANY EASIER TO FEEL
THE STINGING PAIN OF YOUR MEMORY.
MAYBE MOVIN' ON WOULDN'T BE SUCH A HARD THING TO DO,
IF AN EMPTY TANK OF GAS WAS THE ONLY EMPTY THING I KNEW.

Verse 3:
I guess you could say I'm doin' fine,
I found a place to stay on the Tennessee line.
And I'm makin' plans and chasin' dreams,
And I found a boy that thinks the world of me.




AND YET EVERY MILE I MAKE, ALL I WANNA DO IS TAP THE BRAKES,
AND GO BACK TO THE WAY THINGS USED TO BE.
CAUSE EVEN WITH BOTH HANDS ON THE WHEEL, IT DON'T MAKE IT ANY EASIER TO FEEL
THE STINGING PAIN OF YOUR MEMORY.
MAYBE MOVIN' ON WOULDN'T BE SUCH A HARD THING TO DO,
IF AN EMPTY TANK OF GAS WAS THE ONLY EMPTY THING I KNEW.

I'm off to find my inner gypsy soul,
Don't ask where I'm headed cause I don't know.
