Gasoline blues
Posted by heretic on July 31, 2008
Lord, I am down, I am down as a soul can be
I’m stuck in a limbo, and stewing in misery
I could be out there riding, riding to infinity
But got no fuel to feed my ride, lord have mercy
Well the station got hold of some last week
Like bloodhounds we all rushed to the scene
Waited my turn until the sun went down on me
Got a pitiful handful, it was all for nothing
The next day with an offer the devil came to me
For twice the dough and my soul, sweet gasoline
I offered up all that I had along with my dignity
Got what I needed then, said hello to ecstasy
With the next sunrise, some crook stole it off of me
With no remorse, the urchin siphoned it out of me
And I am back in my hellhole, not riding to infinity
Well, still got no fuel to feed my ride, lord have mercy
