Old gas station hasn't changed in decades Cashier checks the time around her Put my things on the counter Pull out my wallet like some pull down the shades My only brother lent me his only car Who knew I would drive it so far? Sometimes you move out of some obligations It was gorgeous on the outside, inside it was just a machine It was the fastest thing I've ever seen I first met Victoria at Victoria Station And we'd always talk about going for a beer She said 'it's strange now that you're here' We went back to her place, 57th Reed Crossing Now she's as poor as me but she looks twice as good I told her that because it's something I would She shrugged a little and she turned off the faucet And later on as we crawled into bed I was thinking of something my father had said He said 'son, you're better off, off of the main drag' With my well-worn body wrenched like a rag There I was straight off the main drag.
