Gasoline Alley Lyrics - Pearls - Elkie Brooks

I think I'm goin' mad and it's makin' me sad 

It's a yearnin' for my old back door 

I realize maybe I was born to lead 

Better swallow my silly country pride 

Goin' home, running' home 

Down the gasoline alley where I started from 

Goin' home, and I'm running' home 

Down the gasoline alley where I was born 

When the weather's better and rails unfreeze 

And the wind won't whistle 'round my knees 

I'll put on my weather suit and catch you in the rain 

I'll be home before the milk's upon the door 

Goin' home, running' home 

Down the gasoline alley where I started from 

Goin' home, and I'm running' home 

Down the gasoline alley where I was born 

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 goin' away and it's my turn to go 

Should the blood run cold in my veins 

Just one favor I'd be askin' 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 cha carry me home down 

The gasoline alley where I started from 

Take me back carry me back 

Down the gasoline alley where I started from 

Take me back, carry me back down 

The gasoline alley where I started from 

Take me back carry me back 

Down the gasoline alley where I started from
