[Verse 1] I pulled into that station just before midnight Dashboard glowing under yellow light Quarter tank left and a head full of you Same old story, same old truth The clerk asked where I was headed tonight I said, “Anywhere that don’t feel like this life” He slid my change across the counter slow Like he’d seen a hundred broken hearts come and go [Pre-Chorus] Every mile puts a little space Between your memory and my face [Chorus] Fill it up, give me another tank of goodbye I’m chasing that white line under a black sky One more town, one more state Maybe somewhere down the road I’ll outrun yesterday I ain’t looking back, I ain’t asking why Just give me another tank of goodbye [Verse 2] Your number still lights up my phone sometimes But I let it ring while I cross county lines Used to think hearing your voice would make it right Now silence sounds a whole lot better at night There’s an old motel sign up ahead Vacancy buzzing neon red I could stop, but stopping ain’t what I need So I push that pedal down and let this highway lead [Pre-Chorus] Some hearts heal sitting still Mine needs motion, mine always will [Chorus] Fill it up, give me another tank of goodbye I’m chasing that white line under a black sky One more town, one more state Maybe somewhere down the road I’ll outrun yesterday I ain’t looking back, I ain’t asking why Just give me another tank of goodbye [Bridge] Maybe I’ll run till the mountains turn flat Till your name don’t hurt when I think about that Maybe freedom’s just a full tank and time And finally knowing your leaving saved mine [Final Chorus] Fill it up, give me another tank of goodbye Let those headlights carry me into the night One more mile, one more dawn Every road I take puts your ghost farther gone I don’t need answers, I don’t need to cry Just give me another tank of goodbye [Outro] Needle on full Your memory on empty One more tank And maybe you won’t get me.
