Gas Station Women Songtext

von Phil Ochs

Everything is going wrong, everything is bad

There's no one I can talk to when I am feeling sad
She broke my heart a million ways

I'm losing all my friends

The boys down at the factory ask me where I've been

Fill 'er up with love

Please won't you, mister?

Just the highest is what I used to say

But that was before I lost my baby
I'll have a dollar's worth of regular today

I never should have left my home, never left the farm
But the city was exciting it couldn't do me any harm
The more folks I run across, the less I seem to know
The days go by too quickly the nights go by too slow.
Fill 'er up with love
Please won't you, mister?
Just the hi-test is what I used to say
But that was before I lost my baby
I'll have a dollar's worth of regular today

I cannot face another girl, I believe I'll turn to drink
So I won't remember, so I won't have to think
Tomorrow will bring happiness or, at least, another day
So I will bid farewell and I'll be on my way
Fill 'er up with love
Please won't you, mister?
Just the highest is what I used to say
But that was before I lost my baby
I'll have a dollar's worth of regular today
