“I Got Twenty Dollars”

[Verse 1]
“I Got Twenty Dollars”

[Verse 2]
Verse 1
That little light is blinking,
The needle’s sitting low,
I told myself this morning,
“I got enough to go.”
But now I’m watching that gauge
Like it’s got a mind of its own,
I got twenty in my pocket,
And I’m racing to the pump!

[Verse 3]
Pre-Chorus
I’m running on fumes,
I’m running on hope,
One more mile to the station,
Come on baby, don’t choke!

[Chorus]
Chorus
I got twenty dollars,
And I need some gas,
Tank is almost empty,
But I’m gonna make it last!
Running to the station,
Gonna fill it up today,
Twenty dollars in my hand,
And I’m on my way!

[Verse 4]
Verse 2
Green light, red light,
Come on, let me through,
Every car in front of me
Has got somewhere to go too!
I’m watching that gas gauge,
It’s getting mighty low,
But there’s twenty in my pocket
And one place I gotta go!

[Chorus]
Chorus
I got twenty dollars,
And I need some gas,
Tank is almost empty,
But I’m gonna make it last!
Running to the station,
Gonna fill it up today,
Twenty dollars in my hand,
And I’m on my way!

[Verse 5]
Bridge — spoken
“Okay… okay…
Just make it to pump number three.
Come on…
COME ON!”

[Verse 6]
Final Chorus
I got twenty dollars!
Put the nozzle in!
Twenty dollars’ worth—
Let the journey begin!
Tank ain’t empty anymore,
I’m rolling down the road,
Twenty bucks of gasoline
And I’m carrying the load!

[Verse 7]
Outro
Twenty dollars…
Twenty dollars…
That’s all I need today…
Got a little bit of gas…
And I’m back on my way!
