I called in sick to the office that day, I grabbed my coat and hat, and I was on my way Took some food and drink, and a good cigar and set out to gas up my car Those damn old gas lines ain’t getting any shorter This one was backed up a mile and a quarter I found a spot and pulled in line, and then I took a gander at what was behind It was a blue Chevy II, one look at her and my heart fell through I smiled in my mirror and looked up above. From that moment on I knew it was love I looked back at her and I had this dream: If we could ride together, we could save some gasoline I waited on line till half past two, ead the daily newspaper four times through I was still in my car at a quarter to nine when a man came out and put up a sign “No more gasoline today” I don’t take things like that lyin’ down so instead of driving back into town I lit up a smoke and decided to stay. I’d be first on line the very next day I walked back to her Chevy and said with a smile, “Looks like we’re gonna be here for a while. Would you like to come back to my car and you might even consider spending the night.” Well, she said yes, we had a grand old time. WWe ordered a pizza and sipped on some wine We drank and talked on into the night. She fell asleep on my shoulder and I held her tight I was still on line the very next morn when I was rudely awakened by the blare of a horn “Get moving pal,” the policeman yelled. The station was open, gasoline was on sale So I filled up my gas tank, I was still a bit drunk and I filled an old waterbed I had in the trunk Filled up the ash trays , put some in the spare I had stars in my eyes and nary a care I was feeling real good, it was a beautiful day. Then I saw that blue Chevy peeling away I screamed and I shouted, but she just drove along Then I said a few things I can’t repeat in this song. My heart had been shattered like a dropped piece of glass Now I think of that girl every time I buy gas I don’t suppose I’ll ever see her again. She’s left me here to sing in vain
