The Hollies

The Hollies - Gasoline Alley Bred lyrics

Your rating:

Oh woman get your head out of curlers
Time to get your butt out of bed
Get down your hats and your baggage my child
Going back home, getting back to the homestead

I'm-a gonna heat me some water
Put a shine upon my shoes
Telephone my mom, keep the room above Joe's
'Cause we're coming back, coming back to the homestead
Everything is packed getting back to the homestead
This time, this time we'll stay, baby

I know that we could have made it
We had ideas in our heads
And I wish somehow we could have saved it
But we're Gasoline Alley bred
Yet the years haven't really been wasted
And I know it in my head
We did good for the life that we tasted
'cause we're Gasoline Alley 
Gasoline Alley bred

Woman, you could really believe it?
I did everything a man could do
Breaking my back just to make us a dime
That don't mean a damn when no one wants to know you
Oh, woman I know how you're feeling
I've seen the hurt upon your face
How many times do you think that I've cried
Knowing every day that your heart was getting broken
Holding back your pride 'til you were nearly chocking
Oh, let's get away, baby

I know that we could have made it
We had ideas in our heads
And I wish somehow we could have saved it
But we're Gasoline Alley bred
Yet the years haven't really been wasted
And I know it in my head
We did good for the life that we tasted
'Cause we're Gasoline Alley 
Gasoline Alley bred 
(Gasoline alley)
Gasoline Alley bred
(Gasoline alley)
Gasoline Alley bred
(Gasoline alley)
Gasoline Alley bred
