Fill Those Tanks

from Hearts & Lungs by Matt Salkeld

/

lyrics

From broken homes we hit the streets. The song in our heart set on repeat. We hit the road, no place to go and no time soon will we retreat. The paths we walk they're all the same. The songs we sing won't go away. Sit back and relax. Take in all you see. If there's one thing that's for sure in life. Tomorrow's never guaranteed.
So fill those tanks and warm em' up. Make sure poison fills my cup. We might be late, but that's ok because we're leaving your town the next day. There's a damn good chance we won't come back. We probably won't come back. So now's your chance take your shot. Make sure you give it all you got. One things for sure, won't go down without a fight. We're moving on to new terrain. Might be gone by the end of the night. Put this town in my rear view and leave it in the dust. One step closer to the only things I trust. Bakersfield California coming back to you. Back to my friends and family. The only things that are true. The only things in life.
So fill those tanks and warm em' up. Make sure poison fills my cup. We might be late, but that's ok because we're leaving your town the next day. There's a damn good chance we won't come back. We probably won't come back.

I started writing solo stuff because I wanted another creative outlet that would challenge me. I played my first solo show in 2010 and I decided to keep it going. I write honest songs. Hope to see you at a show ✌️❤️
