Woman get your head out of curlers
Time get your butt out of bed
Get down your hats and baggage my child
Going back home
going back to the homestead
I`m a-gonna heat me some water
and put a shine upon my shoes
Telephone my ma
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
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`ve tasted
`cause we`re Gasoline Alley Gasoline Alley bred
Woman you can really believe it
I did everything a man could do
Breaking my back just to make us a dime
That won`t mean a damn
when no one wants to know you
Woman I know how you`re feeling
I`ve seen the hurt upon your face
How many time do you think that I`ve cried
Knowing every day that your heart was getting broken
holdin` back your pride til you were nearly chokin`
Oh let`s get away
Gasoline Alley Gasoline Alley Bred
Gasoline Alley Gasoline Alley Bred
Gasoline Alley Gasoline Alley Bred
Gasoline Alley Gasoline Alley Bred
