Running On Empty – Rudy lyrics

Well, you say that I'm your Rudy
Is that some kind of complex metaphor
For how you really feel about me
Will there ever be a chance for something more

And I really want to be your Thompson
I wanna chance to get in and stir up things
I wanna be your bright red sun
Instead of just some dim star in your vast galaxy

Chorus
Don't get me wrong, I'm ok with second string
Just being on your roster means everything to me
But will I always just be some prospect never getting my shot
Cause there's a lot of things I wanna be, and a backup is not

Heart, please don't fail me now
I'm maybe about to get my one big shot
Waited so long to be part of THE SHOW
Well, if you think I'm backing down, I'm not

Chorus

I'm nervous, but I'm ready
Almost losing my grip with my palms all sweaty
I've waited so long for this one chance
It's finally upon us, bring on the big dance(x4)

Chorus (x2)
