Earl Scruggs - Fill Her Up (w Sting) lyrics

rate me

Mobile station,

Where I stand

This old gas pump

In my hand.

The Boss don't like me

Face like a weasel,

All on my hands

The smell of diesel.

Here comes the big shot,

Here he comes!

From the city.

God Damn!

A V-8 engine

She runs so pretty.

Woo!

Fill 'er up son

With 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 treat my baby one day.

I'm gonna fill her up and head out West.

I'm gonna find some money alright. Yeah

That's it.

See those tail lights headed West

I got no money

to invest

I got no prospects

or education

I was lucky to get the 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 'er 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

and this money is cold in my hand and voice somewhere says:

"Why were you going to take that stolen thing?

What real happiness can it bring?"

Ahhh Ohhhh Ahhhh Ohhhh

Ahhhohhhh......Ohhhh

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 pain

You're gonna live with no tommorow

You're gonna fill her up with hate

You're gonna fill her up darkness

You're gonna fill her up with light

You gotta fill her up with Jesus!

You gotta fill her up with light!

You gotta fill her up with spirit! Fill her up!

You've gotta fill her up with faith

You gotta fill her up with heaven!

You've got the rest of life to face

You've gotta fill her up right away

You've gotta fill her up with faith

You've gotta fill her up with babies (?!!?)

You've gotta fill her up with this way

You're gonna love that girl forever

Your 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

You gotta fill her up with love
