Story Behind The Song

I conceived this song while driving across Pennsylvania on route 80.

Song Description

She wants to experience life in the big city but he tells her the country has everything she needs. He can show her the whole world on a single tank of gas.

Lyrics

Ever since I've known you girl you had stars in your eyes
Always told me that I'll see your name one day in lights
Honey if it's your name you want everyone to know
Walk down any street in this small town and say hello
Driving to the airport pretty soon it starts to rain
We don't say too much don't want those tears to start again
I never thought it paid to do much talking anyway
So I'll leave you with this thought to get you on your way

I'll show you the world on a single tank of gas
Rollin down a country road your bare feet up on the dash
We can take the freeway when you feel like going fast
I'll show you the world on a single tank of gas

They say if you love something you gotta set it free
But no one has ever loved you half as much as me
I'd get you to come back home if I knew what it took
Instead I'll tell you what I see everywhere I look
When the desert rain comes down it sparkles like Times Square
The stars in the sky inspired Tiffany I swear
A brook trout when it starts to run is a ballet
And you can see a masterpiece in those stacks of hay

I'll show you the world on a single tank of gas
Rollin down a country road your bare feet up on the dash
We can take the freeway when you feel like going fast
I'll show you the world on a single tank of gas

This old truck with all those miles
Ain't the same without you in it
When you miss my goodnight kisses
I'll get you a first class ticket and

I'll show you the world on a single tank of gas
Rollin down a country road your bare feet up on the dash
We can take the freeway when you feel like going fast
I'll show you the world on a single tank
I'll show you the world on a single tank of gas
Rollin down a country road our song on the radio
We can take the freeway when you feel like going fast
I'll show you the world on a single tank of gas
I'll show you the world on a single tank of gas
