Running on E
Verse 1
I wake up tired before the day even starts,
Got a head full of dreams and a worn-out heart.
Been carrying tomorrow while I’m living today,
Trying to build something better without losing my way.
I’ve been giving out pieces everywhere that I go,
Keeping everybody warm while I’m running cold.
I’m the one they lean on when the whole thing gets heavy,
So even when I’m empty, somehow I stay ready.
Chorus
I’m running on E, but I’m still running,
Don’t know where the strength keeps coming from.
Hands on the wheel, eyes straight ahead,
Living on faith when the fuel gauge says dead.
I ain’t giving up, I ain’t pulling aside,
There’s too much in my heart I ain’t brought to life.
Maybe empty don’t mean the end for me—
Maybe God does His best work
When I’m running on E.
Verse 2
I’ve been building a life while I’m learning myself,
Putting everybody first, putting me on the shelf.
Chasing something bigger than a dollar or name,
Trying to leave this whole world a little better than it came.
Some days I’m fire, some days barely a spark,
Some nights I’m searching for a light in the dark.
But every morning somehow I still rise,
Another little bit of purpose behind these tired eyes.
Chorus
I’m running on E, but I’m still running,
Don’t know where the strength keeps coming from.
Hands on the wheel, eyes straight ahead,
Living on faith when the fuel gauge says dead.
I ain’t giving up, I ain’t pulling aside,
There’s too much in my heart I ain’t brought to life.
Maybe empty don’t mean the end for me—
Maybe God does His best work
When I’m running on E.
Bridge
Maybe E ain’t empty.
Maybe E means enough.
Enough for one more mile,
Enough to not give up.
Enough to reach tomorrow,
Enough to finally see—
I never needed a full tank
For God to carry me.
Final Chorus
Yeah, I’m running on E, but I’m still running,
And now I know where the strength keeps coming from.
Hands on the wheel, faith in my chest,
I don’t have to have it all to give my best.
There’s a road up ahead I was born to see,
And a whole lot of life still waiting on me.
So if you see that light glowing underneath—
I ain’t out of gas yet.
I’m just running on E.
