Engine Still Running-RL (Alt 1)

Engine still running, I didn’t get out Left half my life in some nowhere town Coffee went cold in a plastic cup Didn’t even notice, just filled it up

Phone keeps buzzin’, I don’t pick up If it’s bad news, it can wait a month Got a dent in the door, got dust on my jeans Got things in my head I ain’t never gonna clean

Road keeps goin’, I don’t ask why Some folks stop… I just drive

Engine still running, I can’t slow down If I pull over, I might break down Highway callin’, I let it talk Ain’t got much, but I got this road

Engine still running, that’s enough Tank ain’t full, but it’s good enough No plan, no map, no reason why Just me and the dark and a long black line

Stayed one night in a roadside room TV was on, but I left it mute Heard some guy talk ‘bout better days Sounded nice, but I drove away

Sun came up, I was still awake Hands on the wheel like they’re gonna shake Radio played some old sad song Felt like it knew where I went wrong

Lines keep rollin’, mile by mile Some folks heal… I just drive

Engine still running, I can’t slow down If I pull over, I might break down Highway callin’, I let it talk Ain’t got much, but I got this road

Engine still running, that’s enough Tank ain’t full, but it’s good enough No plan, no map, no reason why Just me and the dark and a long black line

I keep sayin’ I’ll stop somewhere Find a place, get some air But every time I hit that brake Feels like more than I can take

So I let it roll, let it be Let the road decide for me Might be runnin’, might be free Don’t matter much… it’s still me

Engine still running, hear that sound That’s the only thing holdin’ me now No big dreams, no big goodbye Just another mile before I try

Engine still running, don’t ask why Some men quit… I just drive
