Oh woman get your head out of curlers Time to get your bu*t out of bed! Get down your hats and your baggage my child Going back home - getting back to the homestead I'm-a gonna heat me some water Put a shine upon my shoes Telephone my mac keep the room above Joe's 'cause we're coming back, coming back to the homestead Ev'rything is packed gettin' back to the homestead This time, this time we'll stay - baby I know that we could have made it We had ideas in our heads And I wish somehow we could have saved it But we're Gasoline Alley bred Yet the years havn't really been wasted And I know it in my head We did good for the life that we tasted 'cause we're Gasoline Alley - Gasoline Alley bred! Woman did you really believe it I did ev'rything a man could do Breakin' my back just to make us a dime That don't mean a thing when noone wants to know you Oh, woman I know how you're feeling I've seen the hurt upon your face How many times do you think that I've cried Knowin' ev'ry day your heart was gettin' broken Holdin' back your pride 'till you were nearly chocking; Oooh - let's get away - baby I know that we could have made it We had ideas in our heads And I wish somehow we could have saved it But we're Gasoline Alley bred Yet the years havn't really been wasted And I know it in my head We did good for the life that we tasted 'cause we're Gasoline Alley - Gasoline Alley bred! (Gasoline alley...) Gasoline Alley bred! (Gasoline alley...) Gasoline Alley bred! (Gasoline alley...) Gasoline Alley bred!
