Money For Gasoline
never recorded only played live
Intro:
Sorehead judge, with red in the face
Called Johnnie a bum, a civic disgrace
'Cause he fell asleep in a handicap space
Now he's gonna learn his by-God place
Down went Frankie to the court that day
The law weren't inclined to give her her say
Worse come to blows -- and in the melee
Frankie and Johnnie skedad- skedad- skedaddle away
(Spin the wheel)
Hit the bricks and run like hell
(Spin the wheel)
Pound the piss out the courthouse bell
(Spin the wheel)
Dive right in to the wishing well and
Spin the wheel like Ezekiel
(Spin the wheel)
Spin the wheel, spin the wheel
(Spin the wheel)
Spin the wheel, spin the wheel
(Spin the wheel)
Spin the wheel, spin the wheel
C Repeat Intro
Spin the wheel like Ezekiel
Joint in Des Moines, called the Club Baltimore
Fella been drinking, hell he had a few more
"Frankie" says he, "You're a cow and a whore"
Now he layin there dead in the muck on the floor
44 colt Colt makes a great big sound
Cop come by, no gun to be found
They stuck that drunk in the cold potter's ground
Frankie and Johnnie, they weren't around
(Spin the wheel)
Hit the bricks and run like hell
(Spin the wheel)
Pound the piss out the courthouse bell
(Spin the wheel)
Dive right in to the wishing well and
Spin the wheel like Ezekiel
(Spin the wheel)
Spin the wheel, spin the wheel
(Spin the wheel)
Spin the wheel, spin the wheel
(Spin the wheel)
Spin the wheel, spin the wheel
Spin the wheel like Ezekiel
C Repeat intro
Spin the wheel like Ezekiel
Frances and John, Lord they can run
They made good time in the last of the sun
Money for gasoline, liquor for fun
The law's an ass, yes and love weighs a ton
Frankie and Johnnie - they're lovers, you know
A story so real, well it just goes to show
Song is the same wherever you go
It's wheels up above, yes and hearts down below
(Spin the wheel)
Hit the bricks and run like hell
(Spin the wheel)
Pound the piss out the courthouse bell
(Spin the wheel)
Dive right in to the wishing well and
Spin the wheel like Ezekiel
(Spin the wheel)
Spin the wheel, spin the wheel
(Spin the wheel)
Spin the wheel, spin the wheel
(Spin the wheel)
Spin the wheel, spin the wheel
Spin the wheel like Ezekiel
Spin the wheel like Ezekiel
Spin the wheel like Ezekiel
