Fuel Up by Stornoway
Fuel Up lyrics
Curled up in the back of the car,
9 years old you dont know where you are
And your head's on the window, your eyes are just
closed,
Theres a voice in the front and a hush on the road,
You're a passenger but your mind is travelling on
Open your eyes and you're nine years older,
Hands on the wheel and you're racing on over
to lie with your first love, you cant wait to see her,
You borrowed the car and you think you're the driver,
But now you're the passenger to your own heart
and it takes you travelling, travelling on,
When that moring broke and the sky fell down,
it went black as night, and the wind blew round,
And stole your directions, you lost your way home,
and you felt like a passenger left by the road.
Well I'll tell you the reason you couldnt get home
'cos its nowhere you been, and it's nowhere you're
going,
Home is only a feeling you get in your mind,
From the people you love and you travel beside,
You may feel like a passenger, now you're the driver,
you've got to go travelling, travelling on.
If you break down,
Its a cold, hard shoulder
So fuel up your mind,
And fire up your heart,
And drive on,
Drive on, drive on,
And when your days are darker,
Put your foot down harder,
Drive on, drive on.
And it's nine more years you've been driving now,
but tonight you're stumbling through your own town
You met up with a school friend who's still just the
same,
And you talked all the same shit you talked in those
days,
and now you;re drunk and you're sad for the old times
passing you by,
Well theres no rewind so you might as well play,
While your time is rolling away.
Get back on the road,
Its a beautiful day,
Pick up all the friends you can find on the way
And if you lose direction they'll be there biding you
on,
binding you, biding you on,
Cos' we're all going the same way
Down this long road,
Yes were all bound the same way,
Down this long, long road,
So fuel up your mind,
And fire up your heart,
And drive on,
Drive on, drive on,
And when your days are darker,
Put your foot down harder,
Drive on, fuel up,
And drive on, fuel up,
And drive on, drive on.
