gasoline alley
I think I know now what's makin' me sad  It's a yearnin' for my old back yard I realize maybe I was wrong to leave Better swallow up my silly country pride   Callin' home, runnin' home Down the Gasoline Alley where I started from Callin' home, runnin' home Down the Gasoline Alley where I was born   Where the weather's better and the rails unfreeze And the wind don't whistle 'round your knees I'll put on my weather suit and catch him in the rain I'll be home before the milk's upon the door   Callin' home, runnin' home Down the Gasoline Alley where I started from Callin' home, runnin' home Down the Gasoline Alley where I was born  Callin' home, runnin' home Down the Gasoline Alley where I started from Callin' home, runnin' home Down the Gasoline Alley where I was born  If anything should happen and my plans go wrong Should I stray to the house on the hill Let it be known that my intentions were good I'd be singing in the alley if I could    And if I go away and it's my turn to go Should the blood run cold in my veins Just one favor I'd be askin' you Don't bury me here, it's too cold   Take me back, carry me back To the Gasoline Alley where I started from Take me back, carry me back To the Gasoline Alley where I was born Take me back, carry me back To the Gasoline Alley where I started from Take me back, won't cha carry me back To the Gasoline Alley where I was born
