Through the fear we push beyond, we take it to the limit
For the light upon the petrol gauge has been on for 15 minutes
Cause when that glow comes on and all we're running on is trust
When they say you can't go on, well, that is when we must

Steel your nerve, have heart my crew, for the servo siren calls
Ye courage shall be rewarded, with fuel and sausage rolls

Hold steady
Hold fast
We're running out of gas
Hold steady
Hold fast
Have courage, we will last

Although we ne'r have said a word for you are forged of iron
But here we are in the "crimson realm" let's pray your gauge is lying
For we have drained the tank before a'stranded on the Hume
But to be fair, that was my fault, we pushed too far on fumes

As we march beyond the light I feel no greater thrill
This I vow to you my sweet, your heart will get its fill

Hold steady
Hold fast
We're running out of gas
Hold steady
Hold fast
Have courage, we will last

I know I ask a lot of you but you ask nothing of me
We can go the distance with your first class fuel economy
The lady of the map she tells of a station up ahead
In 20 clicks you can be sure I'll get you washed and fed

With hope and valor, grille to boot, we execute the plan
It's only when we're told we can't, we truly prove we can

Hold steady
Hold fast
We're running out of gas
Hold steady
Hold fast
Have courage, we will last
