Fill Her Up - Earl Scruggs

Mobile station where I stand

This old gas pump in my hand

The Boss don’t like me, got a face like a weasel

Oil on my hands and the smell of diesel

Here comes the big shot

(James Taylor)

Here he comes!

(Sting)

From the city

(James Taylor)

God Damn!

(Sting)

V-8 engine, she runs so pretty

(James Taylor)

«Woo!

Fill 'er up son, unleaded

I need a full tank of gas where I’m headed

(Sting)

Up in the front seat a pretty red head

(James Taylor)

«We're going to Vegas we’re gonna get wed»

«So fill her up son, don’t be staring

Yeah that’s a real diamond she be wearing.»

(Sting)

I’m gonna treat my baby one day

I’m gonna fill her up and head West

I’m gonna find some money alright

(James Taylor)

Yeah

That’s it

(Sting)

See those tail lights heading West

I got no money to invest

I got no prospects, no education

I was lucky to getting a job at this gas station

That old cash box

(Both)

That old cash box

(Sting)

On the top shelf

(Both)

On the top shelf

(Sting)

The boss is sleeping

(Both)

The boss is sleeping

(Sting)

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 her up and head West

I’m gonna show her all the bright lights

We’re gonna say we lived 'for 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 id saying:

«Why would you wanna take that stolen thing

And what real happiness can it bring?»

(Both)

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 blame

You’re gonna live with no tommorow

You’re gonna fill her up with pain

You’re gonna fill her up darkness

You’re gonna fill her up with night

(Sting)

You gotta fill her up with Jesus!

You gotta fill her up with light!

(Both)

Fill her up!

You gotta fill her up with spirit

You’ve gotta fill her up with grace

You gotta fill her up with heaven

You’ve got the rest of life to face

(Sting)

You’ve gotta fill her up the right way

You gotta fill her up with care

You gotta fill her up with babies

You gotta fill her up and swear

Youre gonna love that girl forever

Youre gonna fill her up for life

Youre gonna be a loving husband

Shes gonna be your loving wife

You 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
