Diamonds & Gasoline

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Undercover, blame it on the season It ain't no kind of reason, baby Why I come and go I had a lover She felt as good as treason You can't ask her if it's pleasin' You can't ask the wind to blow [Chorus] And I would buy for you a diamond or myself some gasoline If I can't afford you, darlin', 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-spinnin' 'round? [Verse 2] Well I ain't the brightest Bird that ever flew I'm just someone you knew A road you travelled on All the colors They shine and fade away Well they're just like New Year's Day They're here and then they're gone [Chorus] And I would buy for you a diamond or myself some gasoline If I can't afford you, darlin', 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-spinnin' 'round? [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] And I would buy for you a diamond or myself some gasoline If I can't afford you, darlin', 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-spinnin' 'round? The wheels a-spinnin' 'round The wheels Are spinnin'
