Lyrics

Mobile station, where I stand This old gas pump in my hand The boss don't like me A face like a weasel Oil on my hand And the smell of diesel Here comes a big shot (Here he comes!) From the city (Goddamn!) A V8 engine She runs so pretty (Woo!) Fill her up, son, unleaded I need a full tank of gas where I'm headed Up in the front seat A pretty red-head We're going to Vegas We're gonna get wed So fill her up son! Don't be starin'! Yeah, that's a real diamond She be wearin' I'm gonna take my baby one day (yeah) I'm gonna fill her up and head west That's it I'm gonna find some money, all right See those tail lights heading west I got no money to invest I got no prospects or education I was lucky getting a job at this gas station That old cash box (That old cash box) On the top shelf (On the top shelf) The boss is sleeping (The boss is sleeping) I'll just help myself Let's consider this As just a loan I can sort it out Later on the phone I'm gonna pick my girl up tonight I'm gonna fill her up and head west I'm gonna show her all the bright lights We're gonna say we lived 'fore we come home And as I head through the woods on the way back The evening sun is slanting through the pine trees real pretty It's like I walked into a glade of heaven And there's music playing This money is cold in my hand And a voice somewhere is saying "Why would you wanna take that stolen thing?" "What real happiness can it bring?" You're gonna fill her up with sadness You're gonna fill her up with shame You're gonna fill her up with sorrow Before she even takes your name You're gonna fill her up with madness You're gonna fill her up with blame You're gonna live with no tomorrow You're gonna fill her up with pain You're gonna fill her up with darkness You're gonna fill her up with night You gotta fill her up with Jesus! You gotta fill her up with light! You gotta fill her up with spirit! You gotta fill her up with grace You gotta fill her up with heaven! You got the rest of life to face You gotta fill her up the right way You gotta fill her up with care You gotta fill her up with babies You gotta fill her up with this way You're gonna love that girl forever You're gonna fill her up for life You're gonna be her loving husband She gonna be your loving wife You've gotta fill her up with gladness You gotta fill her up with joy! You gotta fill her up with love You gotta fill her up with love
