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
