8 Miles A Gallon

With a Ford 460 that’s an engine pretty mean
Shittin’ out bolts and pissin’ gasoline
7 and 1/4 tons of pure mule power
Rollin’ down the road at 8 miles per gallon
Hit the hammer lane and mash the engine to the floor
The CB is cracklin’ with a truck stop whore
Hard to hear her 20 when the engine valves rattle
Rollin’ down the road at 8 miles per gallon
To you boys all deployed if its me your fightin’ for
I need: Democracy, Gasoline and world wide rock n’roll
I’m praying everyday that you can make it through the battle...
So I don’t feel so guilty ‘bout 8 m.p.g.
So I invent a big engine
Make it run on bullshit
Put in on a highway
Buddy, it’ll never quit
Invent a big engine
Make it run on bullshit
Put it on a train track
Buddy, it’ll never quit
Invent a big engine
Make it run on bullshit
Put it on the chasse
Buddy, it’ll never quit
So I invent a big engine
Make it run on bullshit
Put in on a highway
Buddy, it’ll never quit
From Washington to Arlington to the House of Saud
They’ll all be buying shovels so they can have a job
And I’ll be living happy in the Shenandoah Valley
Rollin’ down the road on 8 miles per gallon
