A Gallon Of Gas lyrics

Artist  : Kinks 
Song : A Gallon Of Gas



 Send "A Gallon Of Gas" Ringtone to your Cell 

 I’ve been waiting for years to buy a brand new
cadillac
But now that I’ve got one I want to send it right
back
I can’t afford the gas to fill my luxury
limousine
But even if I had the dough no one’s got no
gasoline

I went to my local dealer to see if he could set
me straight
He said there’s a little gas going but I’d have
to wait
But he offered some red hot speed and some really
high grade hash
But a gallon of gas can’t be purchased anywhere
for any amount of cash

I can score you some coke and some grade one
grass
But I can’t get a gallon of gas
I’ve got some downers some speed all the drugs
that you need
But I can’t get a gallon of gas
There’s no more left to buy or sell
There’s no more oil left in the well
A gallon of gas can’t be purchased anywhere
For any amount of cash

Two extra verses from long version:
I love your body-work, but you’re really no use
How can I drive you when I got no juice? 
Because it’s stuck in neutral and my engine’s got
no speed
And the highways are deserted
And the air smells unnaturally clean.

It’s got power-assisted overdrive and carpets on
the floor,
But it’s parked out front just like a dead
dinosaur.
And I’ll be paying off the bank for 45 years or
more.
It should go 100 miles an hour,
But it’s never moved away from my door.

Who needs a car and a seven-forty-seven
When you can’t buy a gallon of gas
Who needs a highway, an airport or a jet
When you can’t get a gallon of gas
There’s no more left to buy or sell
There’s no more oil left in the well
A gallon of gas can’t be purchased anywhere
For any amount of cash
You can’t buy a gallon of gas
