    Gasoline blues

    Posted by Heretic on July 30th, 2008 in Poetry

    Lord, I am down, I am down as a soul can be
    I’m stuck in a limbo, and stewing in misery
    I could be out there riding, riding to infinity
    But got no fuel to feed my ride, lord have mercy

    Well the station got hold of some last week
    Like bloodhounds we all rushed to the scene
    Waited my turn until the sun went down on me
    Got a pitiful handful, it was all for nothing

    The next day with an offer the devil came to me
    For twice the dough and my soul, sweet gasoline
    I offered up all that I had along with my dignity
    Got what I needed then, said hello to ecstasy

    With the next sunrise, some crook stole it off of me
    With no remorse, the urchin siphoned it out of me
    And I am back in my hellhole, not riding to infinity
    Well, still got no fuel to feed my ride, lord have mercy
