Lyrics Turnpike Troubadours – Diamonds & Gasoline
Text:
Undercover
And blame it on the season
It ain’t no kinda reason baby
Why come and go
Had a Lover
She felt as good as trees
And you can ask her if its pleasing
You can ask the wind to blow
And I would buy for you a diamond
Or myself some gasoline
If I can’t afford you darling
Then I can’t afford to dream
And is it time I should be moving
Is it time I settle down
Will I sit still or will I feel the wheels a spinning round
Well I ain’t the brightest
Bird that ever flew
I’m just someone you knew
A road you traveled on
All the colors
They shine and fade away
Well they’re just like News Years Day
They’re here and then they’re gone
And I would buy for you a diamond
Or myself some gasoline
If I can’t afford you darling
Then I can’t afford to dream
And is it time I should be moving
Is it time I settle down
Will I sit still or will I feel the wheels a spinning round
Lord I love you
I wish you only knew
Well I wish you had a clue
I wish you had a clue you know
But I’m stuck here in Tulsa
With my Oklahoma blues
With a pair of concrete shoes
That got me sinking pretty low
And I would buy for you a diamond
Or myself some gasoline
If I can’t afford you darling
Then I can’t afford to dream
And is it time I should be moving
Is it time I settle down
Will I sit still or will I feel the wheels a spinning round
The wheels a spinning round
The wheels
A spinning
