"Run On Empty" lyrics

I'm falling asleep at the wheel again
The radio static is my only friend
Bottles under the seat
Making music for me

The loneliest lullaby you ever heard
The wind from the window so cold that it burns
But it keeps me awake
Sometimes that's what it takes

And it's hard
To turn off the lights when you're scared of the dark
To put on the brakes when it's breaking your heart

Gonna run on empty
See how far it gets me
Little while down the road
Couple more miles to go
On my own
Gonna run these red lights
Till I see those green eyes
Little while down the road
Couple more miles to go
Till I'm home

I stop for a minute and think what to say
I'm scared when I get there you'll turn me away
I don't have an excuse
Just my memories of you

I step out the car, let the blood rush my head
Maybe you've moved on and it's for the best
But I'm hopeful at least
That you're feeling like me

Gonna run on empty
See how far it gets me
Little while down the road
Couple more miles to go
On my own
Gonna run these red lights
Till I see those green eyes
Little while down the road
Couple more miles to go
Till I'm home

Oh
Oh
Sometimes it's like I'm going nowhere but
Oh
Oh
I'm almost there

Gonna run on empty
See how far it gets me
Little while down the road
Couple more miles to go
On my own
Gonna run these red lights
Till I see those green eyes
Little while down the road
Couple more miles to go
Till I'm home
