The Price of Gas

Lyricist: Randy Crouch
Vocalist: Cliff Starbuck

If I was high as the price of gas 
I wouldn't ever have to smoke no grass 
just pull over let the whole world pass 
they're goin to hell, trying to get there fast 

Wish I was high as the price of gas 
I wish this gallon would be my last 

They've probably got a car that can run on air 
but you won't see one anywhere 
Cause that wouldn't pay all the zillionaires 
who really don't care that we're stuck out here 

Wish I had a car that could run on air 
Wish everyone was livin' like a zillionaire 

When McKenzie rode the horses off the mountainside 
a lot of Indian ponies died 
They're doin' it to us, trying to take our ride 
sayin "better give up or it's suicide" 

Whatcha gonna do better you decide 
running our ponies off the mountainside 

I just hate giving all that money to them 
it's like making a bet that you'll never win 
it's like paying a debt that'll never end 
Like it keeps getting deeper and you just can't swim 
Keeps gettin deeper and it's leaking on in 

Tank's getting low, moving kinda slow, 
just gonna pull to the side of the road 
where everyone else who can't afford to go 
is living there like the old Hobo 

Partying there on the side of the road 
saying "Hell no, we can't go" 
ad lib.
