It's Okay
For far too long
You just went on your way
Skipping to their song
Down the road, you went
Smiling and giving love
Later discovering nearly all your gas was spent
Nobody chipping in on gas
But they're still looking for a ride
Got you wondering how long could you last
Now you need to refuel
Gas is low, moving slow
Time for renewal
So go on and pull over and park it
No more smiling while they're beguiling
Just sit, think but don't soak in it
It's okay
Get and stay on the shoulder
Divine gas is coming your way
It's okay
Far too long you gassed them up for the ride
Now you have new gas, so, no need to stay
It's okay
But be sure to keep this divine gas in your tank
Now drive, drive far away
