Kevin Costa - Gasoline Blues Lyrics

I got the gasoline blues in my bones
Driving me insane and all alone
Gasoline blues, right down to my bones
Well if someone don't help me soon
I'm gonna take the matter into my own

It's a stiff morning and the dream is dead
Gotta shake myself out of bed
Stiff morning, and something don't feel right
Turn on the car
There's the gasoline light

I must admit, I wasn't surprised
Cause last night I took a joy ride
What can you do when you've got depressive episodes?
Well the city flows forever
So I decided to hit the roads

But now I've got the gasoline blues in the morn
Find myself wanting to hit the horn
I know I won't, I don't treat people with scorn
Except for myself
Wishing I wasn't born

At the pump with my wallet
Do I got money? I just can't call it
Looks like I don't, not even a little bit
Paydays tomorrow
So I guess I'll risk it

I'm late for work, traffic got me good
Gotta clock in and take of my hood
Put on the name tag, and don't forget the hat
Go to my post
And my friend says "hey, are you feeling all that?"

I say "no, I've got the gasoline blues in my bones
Driving me insane and all alone
Gasoline blues, right down to my bones
And if someone don't help me soon
I'm gonna take the matter into my own"

They look at me and then they smile
They say "I've been feeling that way for miles and miles
I dream about death: in the end we always kiss
Well it sounds like you wanna die
So what's your plan to get to bliss?"

"I'm gonna get in my car and observe the fact
That with steal walls my mind can only get abstract
Look out the window and admire my final sun
Park in the garage
And let the engine run

"And let my gasoline blues take my away
What is gone are only days"
"Gasoline blues" my friend says "that is dark"
Well we're interrupted
By the customers who begin to bark

Clocked off at 2AM like I work at a brothel
Drove down the highway with heavy eyes
Just about then, I ran out of gasoline
Well I knew that payday hit at 3AM
So I had to wait

Walked to the station with a canister
Filled it up, brought it back
Drove on home, tears made their barrage
But I laughed in the driveway as I remembered
I have no garage
