Keep on going

Alex Morley was driving to the gas station to get some gas.
Filled up his car and decided not to go home.
Drove all night until he saw some neat sights.
Drove all the next day till he hit an ocean.
Called up his boss on a pay phone by the sea.
Sorry boss won't be coming in again, I am out of gas.

A woman asked Alex what do you do?
I am stuck at this beach, Out of gas, you know.
The woman offered to buy him gas.
No thanks, being stuck is very freeing.
