I think I know now
|
what's making me sad
|
It's a yearnin'
|
for my own back yard
|
I realize maybe
|
I was wrong to leave
|
Better swallow up my silly
|
country pride
|
Going home, running home
|
Down to Gasoline Alley
|
where I started from
|
Going home, and I'm running home
|
down to Gasoline Alley
|
where I was born
|
When the weather's better
|
and the rails unfreeze
|
and the wind don't whistle
|
'round my knees
|
I'll put on my weddin' suit and
|
catch the evening train
|
I'll be home before
|
the milk's upon the door
|
Going home, running home
|
down to Gasoline Alley
|
where I started from
|
Going home, and I'm running home
|
down to Gasoline Alley
|
where I was born
|
<Interlude>
|
But if anything should happen
|
and my plans go wrong
|
Should I stray to the house on
|
the hill
|
Let it be known that my
|
intentions were good
|
I'd be singing
|
in my alley if I could
|
And if I'm called away and
|
it's my turn to go
|
Should the blood
|
run cold in my veins
|
Just one favor
|
I'll be asking of you
|
Don't bury me here
|
it's too cold
|
Take me back, carry me back
|
Down to Gasoline Alley
|
where I started from
|
Take me back
|
won't you carry me home
|
Down to Gasoline Alley
|
where I started from
|
Take me back, carry me back
|
Down to Gasoline Alley
|
where I started from
|
Take me back, carry me back
|
Down to Gasoline Alley
|
where I started from
|
Take me back, carry me back
|
Down to Gasoline Alley
|
where I started from
|
