Low on Gasoline
After 52 years and my fair share of tears,
I am humbled by the things that I have seen.
I was the second of three. 'twas my wish to be free
now the engine's running low on gasoline.
Yeah, I could put the ball in the net,
kiss the girls then forget.
I could wait with balance and poise
amidst all of the noise
now the engine's running low on gasoline.
To the loved ones I've lost, I'm still counting the cost.
Does it matter if we're good or if we're mean?
To the friends who have gone, I've been driving along
but the engine's running low on gasoline.
Yeah, I could put the ball in the net,
kiss the girls then forget.
I could wait with balance and poise
amidst all of the noise
now the engine's running low on gasoline.
The engine's running low on gasoline.
We were standing in the doorway whilst their hands released confetti.
We raised children from our marriage 'til the horses lost their carriage.
Yeah, I could put the ball in the net,
kiss the girls then forget.
I could wait with balance and poise
amidst all of the noise
now the engine's running low on gasoline.
The engine's running low on gasoline.
The engine's running low on gasoline.
After 52 years and my fair share of tears, I am humbled by the things that I have seen;
running low on gasoline.
