I wrote this song for all my no good friends whos just getting by, just like me Leaving the bar, my breaths as hard as regular gasoline Fire up a bone while Im 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 Im just as empty as I am poor, so Im running on fuel Im running on fuel, its all I can do To get up and make it through Coffee in the morning, whiskey in the evening Cigarettes all day long Im running low on faith and lower on pride Im out of love, but I still gotta drive I feel like a fool, but its all I can do Im running on fuel I aint lazy, and I aint no martyr, I aint leaning on Uncle Sam I just drink coffee like crazy, whiskey like water, and smoke like a power plant Im running on fuel, its all I can do To get up and make it through Coffee in the morning, whiskey in the evening Cigarettes all day long Im running low on faith and lower on pride Im out of love, but I still gotta drive I feel like a fool, but its all I can do Im running on fuel Sometimes getting by seems harder than dying But something in a man just makes him keep on trying Aint got no wife, aint got no kids that I know of, its hard enough as it is To work all day then make it to that barstool, Im running on fuel Im running on fuel, its all I can do To get up and make it through Coffee in the morning, whiskey in the evening Cigarettes all day long Im running low on faith and lower on pride Im out of love, but I still gotta drive I feel like a fool, but its all I can do Im running on fuel
