One More Tank Of Gas

Lyrics

Verse 1

Pulled into Murphy's on a Monday
Filled her up and checked the oil
Old man smiled and tipped his cap
Said, "Where you headed, boy?"

I laughed and said, "I ain't too sure."
He grinned like he'd heard that before
Said, "Long as you've got half a reason
That's enough to turn the key and go."

Chorus

Give me one more tank of gas
One more road I've never seen
One more little diner
Where the waitress knows what coffee means

One more sunrise through the windshield
One more town to drive on past
Lord, don't let me run outta reasons
Before I run outta gas

Verse 2

Found a bait shop by a river
Bought a map I didn't need
Met a farmer at a stoplight
Who waved like he'd known me for years

Funny how the best memories
Never show up in your plans
Sometimes all it takes is
One more mile you didn't understand

Chorus

Give me one more tank of gas
One more road I've never seen
One more little diner
Where the waitress knows what coffee means

One more sunrise through the windshield
One more town to drive on past
Lord, don't let me run outta reasons
Before I run outta gas

Bridge

Someday I'll park this old truck
Hang these keys beside the door
But that day's still somewhere down the highway
And I've got a little drivin' left for sure

Final Chorus

Give me one more tank of gas
A little country on the radio
Windows down, the world wide open
Anywhere the good Lord wants me to go

'Cause life ain't measured by the miles
Or the lines upon a map
It's the people that you meet along the way
That keep you comin' back

So here's to one more tank of gas
And every road that comes to pass
Yeah, as long as this old heart keeps beatin'
I'll keep burnin' one more tank of gas

One more tank of gas...
One more road...
One more memory.
