Running on Empty by Evil Ebenezer Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I know that it's over now
If I ain't driving out of no one else
I've been livin' in bordertown
You don't know about me boy
I'm a little bit older now
Everybody's tellin' me to slow it down
I've been fightin' for my home ground
Drivin' all over this town boy
How you holdin' up?
You gotta talk to me one day soon
One day soon
I know shit'll get worked out one day
Down the road down the runway too
I know my tank's on empty
But my dreams are about to come true
I'll be back in a month or two
[Chorus]
I know you know that it won't be that bad
Growin' up on empty
Don't tempt me
I done told ya
I know that you're runnin' on empty
Everything's on empty
So you better stay home
[Verse 2]
Yeah, wеll shit was always hectic on the wallet
I was callin' in thе mechanic he said that he'd install it
I don't wanna spoil it but I gotta get it polished
Cuz now I know the industry is going down the toilet
Man I've been through all the stuff and damn it really don't change
Been doin' this 10 years and I still don't have a chain
Now I'm rappin' 'bout blow and shit I don't have and shits all fucked up
So I just laugh
Don't worry' bout the past
You might have to call me up a cab
I had a crash
Another smashed glass and black Ash in the back of my dads sedan
Yeah
So make sure when you' on the phone
Tell him that I'm down on 33rd beside the corner store
On the road just like Gorbachev
Man I know the stress
Blowin' piff hold it in cuz I don't know what's next
Man you know it's all fucked up in this lane right
That's why I keep my aim tight
[Chorus]
I know you know that it won't be that bad
Growin' up on empty
Don't tempt me
I done told ya
I know that you're runnin' on empty
Everything's on empty
So you better stay home
I know that it's over now
If I ain't driving out of no one else
I've been livin' in bordertown
You don't know about me boy
I'm a little bit older now
Everybody's tellin' me to slow it down
I've been fightin' for my home ground
Drivin' all over this town boy
How you holdin' up?
You gotta talk to me one day soon
One day soon
I know shit'll get worked out one day
Down the road down the runway too
I know my tank's on empty
But my dreams are about to come true
I'll be back in a month or two
[Chorus]
I know you know that it won't be that bad
Growin' up on empty
Don't tempt me
I done told ya
I know that you're runnin' on empty
Everything's on empty
So you better stay home
