Lyrics
[Verse 1] Half a tank of gas And a bag in the back Your old denim jacket On my seat like a map You said, “keep it steady” I said, “i know the way” But i missed that exit And i missed your face [Pre-Chorus] Mile marker blinking Like a bad old sign I keep on thinking I can outrun time [Chorus] Half a tank of gas Half a heart still fast I keep driving back To the things we had Half a tank of gas And i’m still on that track If i see your porch light I might not come back [Verse 2] Coffee on the console Cold fries in the bag Your name on my knuckles From the last time we laughed The dashboard’s glowing Like it knows the truth Every road i take now Turns me into you [Pre-Chorus] Mile marker blinking Like a bad old sign I keep on thinking I can outrun time [Chorus] Half a tank of gas Half a heart still fast I keep driving back To the things we had Half a tank of gas And i’m still on that track If i see your porch light I might not come back [Bridge] Pull up slow, then i stall At the edge of your street Got your words in my mouth And the dust on my jeans I could call, i could leave I could turn this around But that half of a tank Keeps me circling now [Final chorus] Half a tank of gas Half a heart still fast I keep driving back To the things we had Half a tank of gas And i’m still on that track If i see your porch light I might not come back
