[Intro] (soft fingerpicked guitar) [Verse 1] Alarm goes off before the sun Coffee's cold before I've begun Truck's still dusty from yesterday Same long road, same old gray [Pre-Chorus] I ain't broken, I ain't lost Just been paying what it costs [Chorus] I'm running on fumes, but I'm still running Tired to the bone, but the morning keeps coming Not really down, just worn a little thin Gonna rest these hands, then start again [Verse 2] Cut the grass and wipe the glass Watch the whole week drifting past Smile for every door I knock Then sit alone and watch the clock [Pre-Chorus] I ain't broken, I ain't lost Just been paying what it costs [Chorus] I'm running on fumes, but I'm still running Tired to the bone, but the morning keeps coming Not really down, just worn a little thin Gonna rest these hands, then start again [Bridge] Maybe strong don't mean you never bend Maybe tired's just a quiet friend Telling me to slow it down Set the heavy load on the ground [Final Chorus] (lap steel swells) I'm running on fumes, but I'm still running Tired to the bone, but the morning keeps coming Not really down, just worn a little thin Gonna rest these hands, then start again [Outro] Rest these hands... then start again (guitar fades)
