Filled Up My Gas Tank

Filled up my gas tank, felt like king for a day,

Didn’t take long ‘til that crown slipped away.

Wish I had a Flintstone car that had no floor,

Wouldn’t need to buy gas for my tank no more!

Filled up my gas tank, now I’m stuck at home,

Can’t even drive around, just sit here alone.

What’s the point of gas if we can’t go out?

Just my family and an empty bank account!

(Chorus)

Bills stack high while the paycheck’s thin,

Every month feels like we just can’t win.

Tank looks full but the cupboards are bare,

Livin’ on fumes and recycled air!

Filled up my gas tank, now the heat is gone,

Hydro cut off, yeah they said it's done!

I’m sitting in the dark with a half-smile grin,

Guess I’ll just sit here, thinkin’ where I’ve been!

Filled up my gas tank, can’t pay the rent,

Landlord knocking, asking where it went?

Put it in gas, now there’s nothing to do,

I'm broke till payday, ain't nothing new!

(Chorus)

Bills stack high while the paycheck’s thin,

Every month feels like we just can’t win.

Tank looks full but the cupboards are bare,

Livin’ on fumes and recycled air!

Filled up my gas tank, guess I did my best,

Now I’m broke as hell like all the rest.

Gotta laugh out loud just to ease the pain,

In a world where livin’ feels like a losing game.

(Bridge)

It’s funny how a full tank feels like gold,

But everything else is getting sold!

Pick your poison, what you gonna lose?

Gas in the car or lights you use?

(Chorus)

Bills stack high while the paycheck’s thin,

Every month feels like we just can’t win.

Tank looks full but the cupboards are bare,

Livin’ on fumes and recycled air!

Filled up my gas tank, had to cut TV,

No tablets, no phones, just reality.

Said “sunlight’s free, so don’t just stare,”

Go run outside, and enjoy the free air!

Go run outside, and enjoy the free air!
