Love and Texaco

lyrics

I had a big black pontiac
She burned a little oil but she flew
We had it all there in the back
Baby i burned for you
We were bulletproof
We were bathed in the neon glow
Underneath the stars of love and Texaco

You had a long dark history
Some of it was even true
Baby you were enough for me
And I tried to be enough for you
We were bulletproof
Nobody ever told us no
Didn’t need nothin’ but love and Texaco

And every night when the trucks’d go by
We’d gas her up, a kiss for luck and we’d let her fly

I have a sweet sweet memory
Of a boy I used to know
And baby it’s still a mystery
How I ever could have let him go
But we were living proof
That life is a long hard road
And you can’t run forever on love and Texaco

Tag: Just a little cash for cigarettes and gas
Love and Texaco
