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 conscience, 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
