Fred Eaglesmith - Wate Rin The Fuel Lyrics
Darlin', I'm a'comin' down Route number sixty-sevenI just got off the turnpike Avoiding the Ohio State inspectionJohnny Law followed me up the roadThen he turned off and he let me goI guess this old truck ain't worth shuttin' down Your voice last night on the telephoneSaid you wouldn't be there when I got homeSo when I get to ClevelandI'm gonna head back southThe light keeps comin' onI got water in the fuelMy brakes are goneI got a left front tire throwin' threadBy tomorrow morning I could be deadBaby, maybe, you've been right all alongYou said you couldn't stayWith a man who was always gone awayAll you wanted to do was to settle downYou wanted to buy that little trailerOut on the edge with the money you'd savedIt had a carport, a colour TV And no place to turn aroundThe light keeps comin' onI got water in the fuelMy brakes are goneI got a left front tire throwin' threadBy tomorrow morning I could be deadBaby, maybe, you've been right all alongRemember that winter when the lake froze overWe drove out there after we'd unloadedWe revved that truck and we spun it 'round and 'roundThen we left it idlin' out on that iceCrawled in the sleeper and I held you tightBaby, I'm sure on thin ice nowThe light keeps comin' on I got water in the fuelMy brakes are goneI got on left tire throwin' threadBy tomorrow morning I could be deadBaby, maybe, you've been right all alongBaby, maybe, you've been right all along
