Half-Tank Hallelujah

[Intro]

Same blue jeans

Same bar stool

Same half-tank hallelujah

On a Tuesday night

[Verse 1]

You walked in

Hair in a ball cap

Laughing with a plastic cup

Like you owned that backroom light

I said “You from here?”

You said “I’m from nowhere”

“But I’m trying to make somewhere

Out of nights like this”

[Chorus]

Raise your glass up

Half-tank hallelujah

We’re broke but it feels like we’re brand new

Yeah (hey!)

Dancing on a budget

Hearts on fire

Turn this little town smoke into sky-high choir

Half-tank hallelujah

Sing it again

Running on fumes with all my friends

If all we’ve got is almost enough

That half-tank hallelujah is saving us

[Verse 2]

Last call lights

You’re tracing your scars

Saying “Every wrong turn

Parked me right where you are”

We got kicked out

Still humming that tune

Spinning in the parking lot

Under one broke moon

[Chorus]

Raise your glass up

Half-tank hallelujah

We’re broke but it feels like we’re brand new

Yeah

Dancing on a budget

Hearts on fire

Turn this little town smoke into sky-high choir

Half-tank hallelujah

Sing it again (sing it again)

Running on fumes with all my friends

If all we’ve got is almost enough

That half-tank hallelujah is saving us

[Bridge]

Maybe this is it

The good old days we’ll miss

The unpaid tabs

The midnight plans

The “call me when you can”

If tomorrow falls apart

We’ll still have this parking lot

Two kids screaming at the dark

Like it’s a stage

[Chorus]

Raise your glass up

Half-tank hallelujah

We’re broke but it feels like we’re brand new

Yeah (oh yeah)

Dancing on a budget

Hearts on fire

Turn this little town smoke into sky-high choir

Half-tank hallelujah

Sing it again

Running on fumes with all my friends

If all we’ve got is almost enough

That half-tank hallelujah

Yeah

That half-tank hallelujah

Is saving us
