I should be saving all my earnings to buy myself a car
But I've been blowing it steady on dreams I can't afford
Didn't get two-hundred dollars all the times that I passed go
I've burned a hole in my pocket the size of El Paso
People ask where I'm going, but I don't even know
Still I drive these roads every way I know
Maybe one day I'll get clean
There just ain't no telling how far I'll go
I'm just running out of gasoline
I should have gone to work instead of another smokey bar
But I like getting my money from playing my guitar
You can blame it on my conscious, my intentions, or my pride
I just don't give a damn about you other guys
People ask how I'm doing, but I just tell them lies
Still I drive these roads every way I know
Maybe one day I'll get clean
There just ain't no telling how far I'll go
I'm just running out of gasoline
Criticize me if I'm going fast or slow
Only helps my self esteem
There just ain't no telling how far I'll go
I'm just running out of gasoline
I'm just running out of gasoline
OH YEAH YEAH YEAH
Still I drive these roads every way I know
Maybe one day I'll get clean
There just ain't no telling how far I'll go
I'm just running out of gasoline
Criticize me while I'm going fast or slow
Only helps my self esteem
There just ain't no telling how far I'll go
I'm just running out of gasoline
I'm just running out of gasoline
