Running On Empty

By: Herman J. Mosteller, Jr.

Chorus:

Running on empty
With nowhere to hide
Tears on my pillow
Feels like I’m dying inside
Life in the fast lane
You took my heart for a ride
Girl, you took all my Lovin’
Then tossed my poor heart aside

Chorus:

                    All my friends they warned me
                    About letting you in
                    Thought I knew all the answers
                    Bout living in sin
                    The only thing I thought about
                    Was the love I might win
                    But now since you left me
                    I’m all-alone again

Chorus:

                    Now there’s strength in this bottle
                    That I hold in my hand
                    I’ll drown these memories
                    Any way I can
                    Still my tears keep falling
                    It’s so hard to understand
                    This love gone cold
                    Between a woman and a man

Chorus:

                    Well time’s the only healer
                    For this poor heart of mine
                    And my friends they all tell me
                    It’s just a matter of time
                    But everytime I see your face
                    On the street or in my mind
                    With this 90 proof eraser
                    I’ll leave my hurtin’ far behind
