LYRIC

Gallon of Gas

Pearl was a pure-hearted hooker
Living outside of L.A.
Went to the city on business
Ran outta gas on the way
Sat herself down by the freeway
Gave each passing driver the eye
Flashing her feminine features
Singing as each car drove by

Pass me a gallon of gas
Pass me a gallon of gas
I’ll do anything for a gallon of gas
I think that I’m ready to peddle my ass
If you pass me a gallon of gas, oh, yeah
Pass me a gallon of gas

Dave was a doper from Oakland
Heading to L.A. to score
Carried a trunk full of reefer
Four ounces more on the floor
Ran outta gas on the freeway
On his way to a mountain of coke
Sat down and rolled up a reefer
And sang as he started to smoke

Pass me a gallon of gas
Pass me a gallon of gas
I’ll do anything for a gallon of gas
I think that I’m ready to peddle my grass
If you pass me a gallon of gas, oh, yeah
Pass me a gallon of gas

Dave met old Pearl on the freeway
And neither one got to L.A.
They started a commune and stayed there
And they’re still living there to this day
So, goodbye to the smog and the city
Hello to the countryside, peaceful and green
But their tractor and chain saw and their old pick-up truck
Won’t run without some gasoline

Pass them a gallon of gas
Pass them a gallon of gas
They’ll do anything for a gallon of gas
They’ll sell you some ass or some grass for some gas
If you pass them a gallon of gas, oh, yeah
Pass them a gallon of gas
