"Gasoline" lyrics

29 Palms cut through the sky
Driving hard west tends to ease my mind
I turn the radio up loud, I wanna drown it all out
'Cause the break of a heart is a deafening sound

And I need a love song to get myself clean
You loved me so dirty, you won't wash off of me, baby, you're like gasoline
I don't wanna look in the rear view, 'cause I know what I'll see
Wave after wave on this highway for days, you're still all over me

I think I'm gonna move somewhere you've never been
I'll rent me a little room, maybe get a job waitressing
New special every night, dine-in or delivery
And I won't hear you at all, 'cause the jukebox is free, yeah

And it's playing me love songs and getting me clean
You loved me so dirty, you won't wash off of me, baby, you're like gasoline
I don't wanna look in the rear view, 'cause I know, I know what I'll see
Wave after wave on this highway for days, you're still all, all over me, yeah

Maybe in another time I could've smoked you away
With cigarettes and gin fizz, Cole Porter
And all the ghosts to help me ease the pain
But these days, they move faster now
And that's why I speed
Pounding my fists on the wheel, telling myself that you're not what I need

I need a love song to get me clean
You loved me so dirty, you won't wash off of me, baby, you're like gasoline
I don't wanna look, don't wanna look in that rear view
'Cause I know, I know what I'll see
Wave after wave on this highway for days, you're still all over me, yeah
