Old Pickup, Empty Tank - D Miles Everhart
Lyrics by:Samedy Plong
Composed by:Samedy Plong
Produced by:Samedy Plong
I was nineteen with a worn out mat
A guitar in the back and a baseball cap
That old pickup rattled every mile
But it somehow carried me in style
The paint was faded the seats were torn
The engine coughed every single morning
But I had dreams bigger than the county line
And a heart that said the world was mine
Oh pickup empty tank
Rolling through the night
Running on a prayer and a dashboard light
Didn't have much money didn't have a plan
Just a stubborn dream and two working hands
The road was long but I never turned back
Hope gold shotgun in that old truck cab
Sometimes all you need is faith to rank
An old pickup and an empty tank
I'd stop for gas when I could afford
Count my change on the gentle store board
A dollar here and a dollar there
Just enough to keep me moving somewhere
Played my songs in roadside bars
Under neon lights and fading stars
Most nights I earned just enough to eat
But giving up was admitting defeat
Oh pickup empty tank
Rolling through the night
Running on a prayer and a dashboard light
Didn't have much money didn't have a plan
Just a stubborn dream and two working hands
The road was long but I never turned back
Hope gold shotgun in that old truck cab
Sometimes all you need is faith to rank
An old pickup and an empty tank
There were rainy nights and lonely roads
Heavy hearts and heavy loads
Folks would say boy you're wasting time
But dreams don't listen to reason or rhyme
I learned success ain't measured in gold
It's finding the courage to chase what you hold
And every mile taught me something new
About believing when nobody else does too
Now that truck sits by the barn out back
Rust on the doors and dust on the track
But every dent tells a story true
Of where I've been and what I've been through
Sometimes I climb behind the wheel
And remember exactly how it felt
To be young uncertain and full of fire
Still chasing that distant wire
Oh pickup empty tank
That's how it began
With a pocket full of hope and a lifelong plan
Didn't know much but I owned my dream
And followed it farther than it seemed
The road may change but the lesson stays
Keep moving forward through the hard days
Because a heart full of hope can't outrank
An old pickup and an empty tank
So if you're standing at the edge today
Wondering if you'll ever find your way
Just remember every dream I once cranked
An old pickup with an empty tank
And drove toward tomorrow
Anyway
