lyrics

Sarah woke Stanley in the middle of the night
She was coming apart at the seams
She was having trouble coping with the nightmare
Known as the American Dream

She said I'm tired of wasting my paychecks
On the bills that come in between
This time I think I'm gonna take my money
And trade it for some gasoline

Gasoline, Gasoline--what have we got to lose
Gasoline, Gasoline--come on drive away these blues

She said, what happened to the dreamer that I married
I can't reach you through the roar of the TV
Now we're chained to all the things we thought we wanted
And we've forgotten what it is that makes us free

Well the highway runs right through this town
Out to places that I've never seen
All it takes is four wheels and a willing heart
And some money for gasoline

Gasoline, Gasoline--what have we got to lose
Gasoline, Gasoline--come on drive away these blues

Morning found Stanley in an empty bed
There was a note by the coffee machine
She took the keys to the car, some cash from the jar
It was said that she got away clean

Cause a drunk has got to have his whiskey
And a smoker needs that nicotine
All a dreamer really needs is a Buick
And some money for gasoline

Gasoline, Gasoline--what have we got to lose
Gasoline, Gasoline--come on drive away these blues
