Empty Seats
Turn the engine on, but I'm not moving
Wanna leave this town, but I can't do it
Tell you I'm okay, but I can't prove it
I could run away, but that's just stupid
We walk on dirt instead of sidewalks
Say don't walk too far, but what's the fuss for
I could walk for hours and still get nowhere
A better life is out of reach here
Empty seats that won't fill up very fast
Friends all leave and God they ain't coming back
This place ain't moving and it's stuck in the past
I could leave, but I just know I won't last
Oh, I just won't last
I'm all choked up and I'm running on empty
If I knew where to go, you'd know that I'd try to leave
Pack up the car and take off down the street
Realize halfway that leaving just ain't for me
Maybe I'm stuck in this town forever
Maybe I'll leave where the air is fresher
My folks still fight like there's no tomorrow
My soul's gone stale waiting for the sorrow
Empty seats that won't fill up very fast
Friends all leave and God they ain't coming back
This place ain't moving and it's stuck in the past
I could leave, but I just know I won't last
Oh, I just won't last
Unnerving silence while I roll down the road
I never really did get used to the cold
The empty seats from strangers left in the past
Their ghosts still haunt this town, the storm just won't pass
The empty seats of those who promised to stay
Complain, but I'm the one who drove them away
Hands off the wheel while I'm flooring the gas
Fly down this road with no time to react
The empty seats left in the front and the back
The memories that I don't know that I want back
Wanna leave this town, but I can't do it
Tell you I'm okay, but I can't prove it
I could run away, but that's just stupid
We walk on dirt instead of sidewalks
Say don't walk too far, but what's the fuss for
I could walk for hours and still get nowhere
A better life is out of reach here
Empty seats that won't fill up very fast
Friends all leave and God they ain't coming back
This place ain't moving and it's stuck in the past
I could leave, but I just know I won't last
Oh, I just won't last
I'm all choked up and I'm running on empty
If I knew where to go, you'd know that I'd try to leave
Pack up the car and take off down the street
Realize halfway that leaving just ain't for me
Maybe I'm stuck in this town forever
Maybe I'll leave where the air is fresher
My folks still fight like there's no tomorrow
My soul's gone stale waiting for the sorrow
Empty seats that won't fill up very fast
Friends all leave and God they ain't coming back
This place ain't moving and it's stuck in the past
I could leave, but I just know I won't last
Oh, I just won't last
Unnerving silence while I roll down the road
I never really did get used to the cold
The empty seats from strangers left in the past
Their ghosts still haunt this town, the storm just won't pass
The empty seats of those who promised to stay
Complain, but I'm the one who drove them away
Hands off the wheel while I'm flooring the gas
Fly down this road with no time to react
The empty seats left in the front and the back
The memories that I don't know that I want back
