(verse 1)
hey boy you got a few hours of gas
and you're movin' in the right direction
don't know if the fuel will last
but you've got a lot of forward motion
think about all the turns you've passed
are you sure you made the right decision
don't know what you want
but you wanna know what you really want
how you ever gonna be happy?
how you ever gonna be free?
how you ever gonna be happy when you think happiness is a cheat?
(chorus)
only 'bout a half a tank left
only 'bout a half a tank left
only 'bout a half a tank left
only 'bout a half a tank left
(verse 2)
red eyes from the black caffeine
but the coffee really isn't helping
you try, try to be a machine
but you always have to give up something
can't clean all the dirty lines
can't see, can't fix your thinking
sunset y'aint got much time
hope you did all that you could with what you had
how you ever gonna be happy?
how you ever gonna be free?
how you ever gonna be happy when you think happiness is a cheat?
(chorus)
(outro)
only 'bout a half a tank left
only 'bout a half a tank left
only 'bout a half a tank left
only 'bout a half a tank
