Thom Quick - Drivin' on Empty Lyrics

I'm pushing up daisies, workin' from nine to five
Don't care what I do, just tryin' to stay alive
I'm dreamin' of fame, but the fame's not kind
So, I'll tell you what's on my mind

(What will you do?); drivin' on empty
(It's up to you); drivin' on empty

Talkin' to drivers speedin' through all the lights
Standin' on street corners lowers me to new heights
I've seen the colors and I'm not blind
So, I'll tell you what's on my mind

(What will you do?); drivin' on empty
(It's up to you); drivin' on empty
(Dreams can come true?); drivin' on empty

I don't understand why a man ain't supposed to try
The domino plan, yet the gift still burns inside

It takes its toll but you carry on
The wonderful things that you call your own
Explore the world in so many ways
Too little time and so much to say

Ooh, ooh drivin' on empty
Ooh, ooh drivin' on empty

I don't understand why a man ain't supposed to cry
I followed the plan yet I live till I do or die

It takes its toll but you carry on
The wonderful things that you call your own
Explore the world in so many ways
Too little time and so much to say

Rockin' the ages, lookin' to change my life
Precision patience, cuttin' me like a knife
I'm dreamin' of fame, but the fame's not kind
So, I'll tell you what's on my mind

(What will you do?); drivin' on empty
(It's up to you); drivin' on empty
(Dreams can come true?); drivin' on empty
Ooh, drivin' on empty
Ooh, ooh drivin' on empty
I'm Drivin' and drivin' and drivin' on empty
