lyrics

GASOLINE & LIQUOR

I’ve been driving this road so long, I don’t know when to stop.
I’ve been running away so long, always wanting one more drop.
I’ve been holding this bottle so long, I hear your name in every song.
Oo-oo-oo, Oo-oo-oo, Oo-oo-oo-oo, Oo-oo-oo-oo,

Gasoline and liquor,
One came on fast, the other acted slow,
Liquor and gasoline,
One made me stay, the other helped you go.

I’ve been sleeping alone so long, still reach out every night to feel your place,
I’ve been in this desert so long, I know every constellation’s name,
I’ve been pumping gas so long so long, I see your face in every car.
Oo-oo-oo, Oo-oo-oo, Oo-oo-oo-oo, Oo-oo-oo-oo,
Oo-oo-oo, Oo-oo-oo, Oo-oo-oo-oo, Oo-oo-oo-oo,

Gasoline and liquor,
One helped me lie, the other’s fool proof.
Liquor and gasoline,
One broke my heart, the old told the truth.

Heard you’re out in Riverside, with a new guy and our oldest kid.
I look at the locket of hair in my wallet, ask God forgiveness for what I did.
Pour my whisky down the sink, pray it washes away my sin.
Oo-oo-oo, Oo-oo-oo, Oo-oo-oo-oo, Oo-oo-oo-oo,
Oo-oo-oo, Oo-oo-oo, Oo-oo-oo-oo, Oo-oo-oo-oo,

Gasoline and liquor.
One came on fast, the other acted slow.
Liquor and gasoline.
One made me stay, the other helped you go.
