Lyrics Sex And Gasoline - Rodney Crowell

Sex And Gasoline

So much beauty, abs and tush\nSwoop down on you like a burnin' bush\nPop religion bullwhip thin\nSays you ain’t nothing but the shape you’re in\nCome on now girl, genuflect nude magazine\nThis mean old world runs on sex and gasoline\n19 candles adorn your cake\nLife’s simple pleasures is a chance you take\nSo here’s the skinny, indulge the urge\nThen sometime later you can binge and purge\nCome on little girl, we both know what I mean\nThis mean old world runs on sex and gasoline\nYou’re pushing thirty, why you old hag\nHere’s something dirty for your shopping bag\nYou spend the money and here’s the deal\nWe’ll do our best to mend your sex appeal\nAh, come on dear girl, the process is routine\nThis mean old world runs on sex and gasoline\nYour over forty, that’s it for you\nI’m pretty sure there’s nothing else that we can do\nPerhaps the convent, perhaps the knife\nYou woulda, coulda, shoulda been a rich man’s wife\nCome on old girl, Lolita in her prime was yet thirteen\nThis star crossed world runs on sex and gasoline\nTired ol' story, sad but true\nWe mama’s boys have got it in for you\nOur faults are many, our virtues nil\nWe never loved you and we never will\nAh, come on now girl, it’s time we both come clean\nThis mean old world runs on sex and gasoline\nFrom the first grade princess to the last homecoming queen\nThe star crossed world runs on sex and gasoline\nThe whole wide world runs on sex and gasoline\nOh yes and your momma’s world ran on sex and gasoline
