Sting & Police - Fill Her Up lyrics

rate me

Mobil station where I stand

This old gas pump in my hand

My boss don't like me, got a face like a weasel

Oil on my hands and the smell of diesel

Here come a big shot from the city

V8 engine, she runs so pretty

'Fill her up son, unleaded

I need a full tank a gas where I'm headed'

Up in the front seat a pretty red head

'We're going to Vegas we're gonna get wed'

'So fill her up son, don't be staring

That's a real diamond she be wearing'

I'm gonna take my baby one day

I'm gonna fill her up and head west

I'm going find some money all right

See those tail lights heading west

I got no money to invest

I got no prospects, or education

I was lucky getting a job at this gas station

That old cash box on the top shelf

The boss is sleeping, I'll just help myself

Let's consider this as just a loan

I can sort it out later on the 'phone

I'm gonna pick my girl up tonight

I'm gonna fill her up and head west

I'm gonna show her all the bright lights

We're gonna say we lived 'for we come home

And as I head through the woods on the way back

The evening sun is slanting through the pine trees real pretty

It's like I'm walked into a glade of heaven

And there's music playing

This money is cold in my hand

And a voice somewhere is saying

'Why would you wanna take that stolen thing

And What real happiness can bring?'

You're gonna fill her up with sadness

You're gonna fill her up with shame

You're gonna fill her up with sorrow

Before she even takes your name

You're gonna fill her up with madness

You're gonna fill her up with blame

You're gonna live with no tomorrow

You're gonna fill her up with pain

You're gonna fill her up with darkness

You're gonna fill her up with night

You gotta fill her up with Jesus

You gotta fill her up with light

You gotta fill her up with spirit

You gotta fill her up with grace

You gotta fill her up with heaven

You got the rest of life to face

You gotta fill her up the right way

You gotta fill her up with care

You gotta fill her up with babies

You gotta fill her up and swear

You're gonna love that girl forever

You're gonna fill her up with life

You're gonna be a loving husband

She's gonna be your loving wife

You gotta fill her up with gladness

You gotta fill her up with joy

You gotta fill her up with love

You gotta fill her up with love
