Lyrics Thirteen Miles to Empty - Have Gun Will Travel, Devon Stuart (of The Takers)

Thirteen Miles to Empty

At a show last Saturday in Nashville, Tennessee
The owner said the turnout was only half what it should be
He didn’t ask for anything beyond our guarantee
He just left us twisted in the breeze
Now its seven in the morning
We’ve been driving all night long
I thought that I might get some sleep before the break of dawn
But I’m still here behind the wheel in the early morning light
Thirteen miles to empty and there’s no relief in sight
Well trouble’s waiting around the corner nearly every turn
Follow close behind us, you might see our bridges burn
If it weren’t for bad luck, we wouldn’t have luck at all
Banging our heads up against the wall
Now its seven in the evening
Running late for another show
Gone three hundred miles today
Got sixty more to go
Now I hope that we don’t run out of gas
I’ve got a feeling that we might
Thirteen miles to empty and there’s no relief in sight
Riding on four bald tires
And we haven’t got a spare
Heading back to town
But we might not make it there
Its awful far to travel when you can’t afford the gas
Feels just like we’re going nowhere fast
Now its seven in the morning
And we’ve been driving all night long
I thought I might get some sleep tonight before the break of dawn
But I’m still here behind the wheel in the early morning light
Thirteen miles to empty and there’s no relief in sight
Thirteen miles to empty and there’s no relief in sight
