I wrote this song for all my no good friends
Who's just getting by, just like me
Leaving the bar, my breath's
As hard as regular gasoline
Fire up a bone while I'm swerving home Blowing smoke like a model t
Wake up to a cup as black as tar, go to work
And get beat like a mule
I'm just as empty as I am poor
So I'm running on fuel
I'm running on fuel, it's all I can do
To get up and make it through
Coffee in the morning, whiskey in the evening
Cigarettes all day long
I'm running low on faith and lower on pride
I'm out of love, but I still gotta drive
I feel like a fool, but it's all I can do
I'm running on fuel
I ain't lazy, and I ain't no martyr,
I ain't leaning on uncle sam
I just drink coffee like crazy, whiskey like water
And smoke like a power plant
I'm running on fuel, it's all I can do
To get up and make it through
Coffee in the morning, whiskey in the evening
Cigarettes all day long
I'm running low on faith and lower on pride
I'm out of love, but I still gotta drive
I feel like a fool, but it's all I can do
I'm running on fuel
Sometimes getting by
Seems harder than dying
But something in a man
Just makes him keep on trying
Ain't got no wife,
Ain't got no kids that I know of,
It's hard enough as it is
To work all day then make it to that barstool
I'm running on fuel
I'm running on fuel, it's all I can do
To get up and make it through
Coffee in the morning, whiskey in the evening
Cigarettes all day long
I'm running low on faith and lower on pride
I'm out of love, but I still gotta drive
I feel like a fool, but it's all I can do
I'm running on fuel
