Elkie Brooks Gasoline Alley Lyrics

I think I know now what's making me sad

It's yearnin' for my own back yard

I realise maybe I was wrong to leave

Better swallow up my silly country pride

Calling home, running home

Down theGasoline Alley where I started from

Calling home, running home

Down the Gasoline Alley where I was born

When the weather's better and the rails unfreeze

And the wind don't whistle 'round your knees

I put on my weather suit and catch him in the train

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

Calling home, running home

Down the Gasoline Alley where I started from

Calling home, running home

Down the Gasoline Alley where I was born

Calling home, running home

Down the Gasoline Alley where I started from Calling home, running home

Down the Gasoline Alley where I was born

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 the alley if I could

And if I'm called away and it's my turn to go

Should the blood run cold in my veins

Just one favour I'll be asking you

Don't bury me here, it's too cold

Take me back, carry me back

To the Gasoline Alley where I started from

Take me back, carry me back

To the Gasoline Alley where I was born

Take me back, carry me back

To the Gasoline Alley where I started from

Take me back, won't you carry me back

To the Gasoline Alley where I was born
