Fill Her Up

Mobil station where I stand

This old gas pump in my hand

My boss don't like me, a face like a weasel

Oil on my hands and the smell of diesel

Here come a big shot from the city

V8 engine, she runs so pretty

"Fill her up, son, unleaded

I need a full tank a 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 staring

Yeah, that's real diamond she be wearing"

I'm gonna take my baby one day

I'm gonna fill her up and head west

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 on the top shelf

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 I 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 the right way

(You gotta fill her up with care)

You gotta fill her up with babies

(You gotta fill her up and swear)

You're gonna love that girl forever

(You're gonna fill her up for life)

You're gonna be a loving husband

(She's gonna be your loving wife)

You 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
