Tank's On Empty Lyrics

Forget dinner, let's figure out what we're havin' for breakfast

'Cause you wake up next to me, I guarantee you won't regret it

Don't sweat it, these things come naturally if you let it

And if you have to be told, then you'll probably never get it

'Cause it seems this scene has been predetermined

To redirect us both into each other's paths like two planes about to crash

I just laugh, this whole thing's been so public

You couldn't restrain it even if you managed to handcuff it

But that talk is cheap like hand puppets and I've manned up

It's clear that someone's tryin' to steal home and I'm the prime suspect

'Cause I'm feelin' fly, no need for dress shirts

And she likes my style, no need for pressure

For certain, I've closed the curtain on flirtin'

So we can cut straight to the chase, subtlety ain't workin'

The conditions ain't perfect but they usually aren't

And I can see the finish line, that's how I know we about to start

'Cause my glass is full, my tank's on empty

And I knew she was comin' home with me when she met me

And I'll be comin' home real late tonight

I'll be comin' home real late tonight

My glass is full, my tank's on empty

And I knew she was comin' home with me when she met me

And I'll be comin' home real late tonight

I'll be comin' home real late tonight

Forget what you heard I'm about through word of mouth

Experience me first hand if you still have any doubts

'Cause second hand accounts don't count

They're full of fabrications, exaggerations, and miscounts

So I discount their credibility, I throw 'em out

And I can't cut 'em a deal, there's no discount

'Cause once I dismount and I stick the landin'

You already know what the plan is

Yes, we're headed down this route

With no rest stops and, U-turns, you can't do those

So we can just pull over and fog some windows

The upholstery smells like indo

And baby, you've been pushin' my buttons all night like Nintendo

But that game's old and you've got no memory card to save it

No Konami code needed cause I already played it

Ran through you like Contra and now you're contraband

'Cause once I get you baby, I got you

And my glass is full, my tank's on empty

And I knew she was comin' home with me when she met me

And I'll be coming home real late tonight

I'll be comin' home real late tonight

My glass is full, my tank's on empty

And I knew she was comin' home with me when she met me

And I'll be comin' home real late tonight

I'll be comin' home real late tonight

Forget taking it slow, speed limits are suggestions

And I never stop and ask for directions

She wants me to slow dance with her

I'm too cool for two-steppin'

Our glide's a glorified grind, it's sex with no protection

It's love without commitment, answers with no questions

I'm singin' it for real, no pitch correction

I'm at the line of scrimmage tryin' to switch protections

I'm tryin' to take you to the house like an interception

Never fumble, most dudes crumble under pressure

But most dudes are all talk, no need for lectures

They hate the way I swing the bat, but that don't offend me

They say my game's on steroids, they wanna suspend me

They say it ain't fair, the drugs enhance my performance

We're singin' the same song but we only know the chorus

So we'll hum a few bars 'til our high comes down from soarin'

So you can save that goodnight kiss for tomorrow mornin'

I'm gone

My glass is full, my tank's on empty

And I knew she was comin' home with me when she met me

And I'll be comin' home real late tonight

I'll be comin' home real late tonight

My glass is full, my tank's on empty

And I knew she was comin' home with me when she met me

And I'll be comin' home real late tonight

I'll be comin' home real late tonight
