gas-trip

I threw my keys up in

my hand Stepped off the porch

into the night again Tank sittin'

low and the fuel light on

Didn't really matter,

I was glad to be gone

Old hoodie on and my boots

half tied Cold night wind on

a small town drive Truck fired

up with a shaky sound As

country music echoed through the town

Yeah, sometimes you just need a

little ride To clear your head

for a while at night I'm

runnin' to the gas station down

the road Windows down while the

cold wind blows Streetlights shinin' on

the blacktop lines Nothin' but music

and a peaceful mind Grab a

cold drink,

maybe talk a while To the

same old faces with the same

old smiles Yeah,

life slows down where the neon

glows On a ride to the

gas station down the road

Passed the school and the baseball

field Every little memory felt so

real Saw a couple trucks parked

side by side Boys laughin' loud

on a Friday night Pulled up

slow underneath them lights Whole parking

lot feelin' alive tonight Someone yelled

out, "Yo,

where you been?" Like I never

left but just rolled in again

Yeah, it ain't much in a

big city world But around here

it means everything,

girl I'm runnin' to the gas

station late tonight Radio glowin' in

the dashboard light Coffee brewin' and

the cooler's cold Everybody there got

stories told No big plans and

nowhere to go Just ridin' slow

down familiar roads Yeah,

sometimes freedom's closer than you know

On a ride to the gas

station down the road

And one day these nights'll fade

away We'll all grow up and

move away But I know I'll

miss these simple scenes More than

all them bigger dreams 'Cause there's

somethin' 'bout a midnight ride Makes

small town life feel alive Even

if it's just for gas and

snacks Those little moments keep pullin'

me back

Final runnin' to the gas station

one more time Tryna hold onto

these nights of mine Truck tires

hummin' like an old slow song

Makes me feel like I still

belong From the porch light glow

to the neon signs It's the

little things that get you by

Yeah, life feels good on an

empty road Headin' to the gas

station down the road

So if you hear country music

in the dark somewhere And headlights

cuttin' through the cold night air

That's probably me just takin' life

slow

On a ride to the gas

station down the road
