Story Behind The Song

crazy gas prices might result in excess gas...

Lyrics

as the little guy sees the gas he buys seem to vaporize right before his eyes
the oil sheik does lunches in greece while he spends eight weeks on the beach in dubai

Verse
i got gas; no, i don't stink
what i mean is i just filled my truck to full with gasoline
man, it hurts... when i think
i pumped a hundred bucks worth of eighty-nine octane

now, he's a heavy drinker; so it don't last too long
and it's an every-weeker; so my cashflow trickles on
i told my wife and kids it's lookin' more like rice and beans
now, don't you laugh, i got gas

Verse
i got gas; it's over three
i remember not far back a gallon, chips, and ice-cold drink
were not much more...it's so obscene
i'm prayin' for the price to dive like a submarine

i'm gettin' kinda nervous; might have to sell my truck
he gives the finest service; but when it comes to gas, he sucks
i tell my wife and kids it's lookin' more like rice and beans
now, don't you laugh, i got gas

Bricge
prices climbin', nickel and dimin' drivers to their knees
puts the hurt on you; puts the hurt on me
there ain't no simple simon kind of timin' for relief
when ya need some fuel, and it don't come cheap

Verse
i got gas; yeah, that's the truth
thought i finally sold my truck, but it bellied up, and it fell through
the well's run dry...as prices sky
honey, pass the rice and beans
i need some fuel for my fuel tank
pull my finger, ooh, that's rank
hey, i got gas
oh, sure, let's have a blast
go long...a touchdown pass
go ahead and get your laughs
'cuz i got gas;...oh, i got gas
