[Verse 1] Gas light off but it won't be long One hand steady, one taps the song Your paper map from the glove-box pile Hasn't known this road in quite a while We passed the turn and you just laughed Said the lake will still be there when we get back [Pre-Chorus] We don't have to make good time We can make this time feel good tonight [Chorus] Half a tank and a full heart We got plenty for a little start Windows down and nowhere to prove Every road feels better with you Half a tank and a full heart Let the sun take the long way dark We might not get too far But we're right where we are [Verse 2] Diner open with the sign half lit Two forks working on a single slice You tell the waitress we got lost She says the best view's just across We find the water from a wooden pier All that driving just to stand right here [Pre-Chorus] We don't have to make good time We can make this time feel good tonight [Chorus] Half a tank and a full heart We got plenty for a little start Windows down and nowhere to prove Every road feels better with you Half a tank and a full heart Let the sun take the long way dark We might not get too far But we're right where we are [Bridge - intimate solo vocal, piano and strings] I used to measure miles like wins Always asking where the good life is You put your jacket round my arm I stopped looking quite so hard [Instrumental interlude - orchestra and rhythm section, no vocals] [Final Chorus] Half a tank and a full heart We got plenty for a little start Windows down and nowhere to prove Every road feels better with you Half a tank and a full heart Let the sun take the long way dark We might not get too far But we're right where we are [Outro] Half a tank A full heart And the long way home
