lyrics

20 Miles to empty and I got 50 miles to go
Afraid I’m going nowhere down this one way road
My wheels keep on spinning
Cause my soul keeps on singing these words
Even when it hurts

The static on the radio’s a harsh and lonely sound
I’ve come too far to give it up and turn back now
I was born to gamble, to question, and to ramble
I don't have much but I got soul
I don't have much but I got soul

Even when it feels like my whole train is off the tracks
I know my hearts been stolen and I might not get it back
I’ll always have a song to sing and stubborn will to get me through the night
Get me through the night
La da da da

The sunset through the windshield it almost makes me blind
Reminds me of this feeling that I’m running out of time
With the world all aglitter, even when its tastin bitter
I know, I got more to show

They took every thing I had but they can’t take this from me
The best things in a lifetime don’t take cash but they’re not free
I can hear it coming, I’m fightin, I'm not running
I don't have much but I got soul
I don't have much but I got soul

Even when it feels like my whole train is off the tracks
I know my hearts been stolen and I might not get it back
I’ll always have a song to sing and stubborn will to get me through the night
Get me through the night
La da da da

20 Miles to empty and I got 50 miles to go
But I know somehow that I’m gonna make it home
