    Default Girls, Guitars, and Gasoline

    It was early september
    And the chill was setting in
    The sun beat down
    On small town wisconsin
    The wind blew cold
    I needed someone to hold
    When this blondehaired bombshell came out of the blue
    And said hey how bout me and you
    Go and find somewhere to chill
    Ill go anywhere you will
    Hand in hand through the backstreets
    Of this whole town

    Girls guitars and gasoline
    She was the prettiest girl id ever seen
    Like the cover of a magazine
    But she was only seventeen
    Girls guitars and gasoline's
    Enough to make a man turn mean
    She coulda been on the movie screen
    What was she doing with me

    We had the radio on
    And we were singing along
    To it aint me babe
    On a mixed cd
    We took a trip to the country
    Where asphalt turns to stone
    Took a walk on the beach
    So we could be alone
    We shared an embrace
    As the sun came up
    Then she turned and kissed me
    As we sat in my truck

    Girls guitars and gasoline
    She was the prettiest girl id ever seen
    Like the cover of a magazine
    But she was only seventeen
    Girls guitars and gasoline's
    Enough to make a man turn mean
    She coulda been on the moviescreen
    What was she doing with me

    She moved away and moved on
    Like an old country song
    She found a new man
    And started her own family
    Me im doing fine
    Long as im drunk or high
    I found me a home
    On that lonesome road
    All ive gots this guitar
    That i strum at the bar
    Someone buy me a beer
    Before i burst into tears

    Girls guitars and gasoline
    She was the prettiest girl id ever seen
    Like the cover of a magazine
    But she was only seventeen
    Girls guitars and gasoline's
    Enough to make a man turn mean
    She coulda been on the moviescreen
    What was she doing with me

    Your chorus is great! I love the fact that this song unfolds like a story, and you did a good job telling it. I thought it would have a happy ending... oh well.

    Great song! It made me think of the ZZ Top video's from the eighties. (Gimme All Your Lovin', Sharp Dressed Man).

    Pretty good. I was going to say it reminded me of Dire Straits but after re reading it, more like a country version of Dylan.

    Thanks, I never reaaly thought of it seeming dire straits like before, but now that you say that, yea I can see where youre coming from

    Like BackinBlack said it's 'pretty good'. But I think your songs have the potential to sound more than pretty good. Maybe with a band the songs will live up to their potential. My favorite one is 'Nothingtown'.

    I agree so much that I should get a band together, and ive tried but it just hasnt worked out yet. Theres a rather large folk scene here but as for country well the only person other than me around here thats doing that spends half the year up here in wisconsin and the other half of the year playing around dixie. And he just left on saturday.

    I use audacity and a behringer c-1u usb condenser mic, and I use kjaerhaus classic plugins. First take is just acoustic guitar and vocals, then I build from there.

    The chorusline Girls, Guitars, and Gasoline
    is rightout brilliant:
    short, wonderful alliteration.
    RockinRustle: swing it out, let it sound mean!
    You're fine "as long as I'm drunk or high" asks for it.
    You make that sound both Good, Bad and Ugly.
    Thanks!

    This was a fun and pleasant read. You tell an interesting story and the words flow well from line to line, especially the chorus.
