Full Tank of Gas

Full Tank of Gas

Forever is always borrowed
and all things change and pass
and if you die tomorrow
Well, I’ve got me a full tank of gas

I arrive at my destination with
you stuck there in my heart
and hopefully beside me
but still, if we are apart

Glorious you are to me
skies sparkle in your eyes
no fire of hell could consume you
even though you’ve tried

Give in and be discovered
with your life upon your sleeve
All the things will stay there
covered until you give them leave
and if you die tomorrow and
all things change and pass
Please know how much I
love you and don’t forget
I’ve got a full tank of gas
