[Verse 1] Pull up to the pump before it hits a quarter That is not a suggestion that is a standing order Never let anxiety creep in on the highway My gauge does not dip below half no way Filled up Tuesday even though I did not need to Fifty three percent and I still proceeded Because opportunity met preparation that day That is a principle I live by every way [Chorus] Fuel above half that is the only way I drive Never coast on empty trying to survive Orange light come on I do not know that feeling Half a tank minimum that is my dealing Fuel above half every single time Pump it before you need it that is the grind You will not catch me stranded on the side Fuel above half that is just my pride [Verse 2] I know three gas stations on every route I take Prices at each one I got the knowledge straight Fill up when it is cheapest not when you are desperate Desperation pricing is a tax on the reckless Cold weather contracts the fuel I know the science Topped off before the freeze that is self reliance While you gambling on the needle touching red I sleep good every night with a full tank instead [Chorus] Fuel above half that is the only way I drive Never coast on empty trying to survive Orange light come on I do not know that feeling Half a tank minimum that is my dealing Fuel above half every single time Pump it before you need it that is the grind You will not catch me stranded on the side Fuel above half that is just my pride [Bridge] You out here riding on fumes talking about you will get it later Coasting into the station like a first time skater What if the highway closed what if there was a storm What if every pump in a ten mile radius was gone I got enough fuel to drive to another county Find a better price and come back without bouncing Fuel is not a luxury it is a tactical decision I move through this world with operational precision [Verse 3] Road trip coming up I filled it up the day before Checked the tire pressure while I was there once more Because a prepared man does not do one thing at a time He stacks his errands that is called optimizing time Got the receipt saved it in my glove compartment folder Every transaction documented getting older Mileage written in a notebook in the console Tracking fuel economy is a life goal [Chorus] Fuel above half that is the only way I drive Never coast on empty trying to survive Orange light come on I do not know that feeling Half a tank minimum that is my dealing Fuel above half every single time Pump it before you need it that is the grind You will not catch me stranded on the side Fuel above half that is just my pride [Outro] Yeah Fifty three percent On a Tuesday Did not need to stop Stopped anyway Receipt in the glove compartment Mileage in the notebook Tire pressure checked All four tires Including the spare Especially the spare That is just how I move That is just how I move
