Almost Out of Gas
How come the young fellas keep whippin' my ass?
I'm almost out of gas, almost out of gas
If I was a Catholic, I'd take the last mass
I'm almost out of gas, almost out of gas
How come I don't give a shit about what's goin' on?
I'm almost out of gas, almost out of gas
And I don't come visit, and I don't mow my lawn
Almost out of gas, almost out of gas
Well, there was a young woman, she gave me a ride, you know
But it wasn't too long 'til she dumped me off at the side of the road
There's TV-lookin' people all over the place
I'm almost out of gas, almost out of gas
I think the fuckers must be from outer space
I'm almost out of gas, almost out of gas
Well, I used to be a man could make his own plan
I'm almost out of gas, almost out of gas
Now ya just gotta get by the best you can
I'm almost out of gas, almost out of gas
Well, I'm stuck somewhere down by the Missouri line tonight
If it wasn't for you, I'd be doin' fine, that's right
Now when I'm dead just throw me in a ditch
I'm almost out of gas, almost out of gas
And I wish you good luck, you son of a bitch
Almost out of gas, almost out of gas
Almost out of gas, almost out of gas
Almost out of gas, almost out of gas
