Lyrics
One Tank Of Gas (V1) The new wearing off... is growing old The hands of time... pick up my luck Short of nothing... but selling my soul I'll trade everything... except my truck (Chorus) For a tank of gas... and one good meal Wild life or land mines...ain't no big deal My glass half full....is about to fill Cause I’m a tank of gas... and one good meal ... from you (V2) So we challenge... the choices of fate With life savings...less than a buck Your giving heart....opened the gate I left everything....except my truck (Chorus) (Bridge) Leaving my past For your love Is the best deal....I ever made (MUSIC (LAST Chorus) For a tank of gas.... and one good meal Wild life or land mines... ain't no big deal My glass is full.....it’s about to spill I was just one tank of gas and one good meal...... Yeah, one tank of gas and one good meal ... from you Cooter Ford © 10-10-15

Beautifully produced Farrell. That organ is awesome. Great vocal work here. Put some high octane in that tank - you've got many more miles to go in that truck. Nice guitar work - the acoustic sounds great!
