"Fill Her Up" lyrics - EARL SCRUGGS
Mobile station where I stand
This old gas pump in my hand
The boss don't like me, face like a weasel
All on my hands the smell of diesel
Here comes the big shot (here he comes)
From the city (goddamn)
A V-8 engine, she runs so pretty
Fill 'er up son with unleaded
I need a full tank of gas where I'm headed
Up in the front seat, a pretty redhead
We're going to Vegas, we're gonna get wed
So fill her up son, don't be starin'
Yeah, that's a real diamond she be wearin'
I'm gonna treat my baby one day
I'm gonna fill her up and head out west
I'm gonna find some money all right
See those tail lights headed west
I got no money to invest
I got no prospects or education
I was lucky to get the job at this gas station
That old cash box on the top shelf
The boss is sleeping, 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 'er up and head west
I'm gonna show her all the bright lights
We're gonna say we lived 'fore 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 a voice somewhere says
Why were you going to take that stolen thing?
What real happiness can it bring?
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 pain
You're gonna live with no tomorrow
You're gonna fill her up with hate
You're gonna fill her up darkness
You're gonna fill her up with light
You gotta fill her up with Jesus
You gotta fill her up with light
You gotta fill her up with spirit
You've gotta fill her up with faith
You gotta fill her up with heaven
You've got the rest of life to face
You've gotta fill her up right away
You've gotta fill her up with faith
You've gotta fill her up with babies
You've gotta fill her up with this way
You're gonna love that girl forever
You're gonna fill her up for life
You're gonna be her loving husband
She gonna be your loving wife
You've 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
You gotta fill her up with love
