Through the fear we push beyond:
We take her to her limit
For the light upon the petrol gauge
Has been on for fifteen minutes
'Cause when the glow comes on and all
We're running on its trust
When they say you can't go on
Well that is when we've lost
Steel your nerve out hard, me crew
For the Servo siren calls
Your 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'er 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 way 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
Hold steady (hold steady!), hold fast (hold fast!):
We're running out of gas
Hold steady (hold steady!), hold fast (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 twenty klicks, you can be sure
I'll get you washed and fed
With hope and valour, grill 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
Hold steady (hold steady!), hold fast (hold fast!):
We're running out of gas
Hold steady (hold steady!), hold fast (hold fast!)
Have courage we will last
