Back When Gas Was Thirty Cents A Gallon (A Soldier of Fortune, 1980)
[Verse 1:] Back when gas was thirty cents a gallon America was young and strong and brave Lord knows that I didn't have much money And my old car had seen some better days You were young and fresh as brand new roses I was so in love and strong and brave
[Pre-Chorus:] Back when gas was thirty cents a gallon And love was only sixty cents away [Chorus:] I don't think I'd know you if I'd see You I practice my forgettin' till it works Back when gas was thirty cents a gallon I didn't know the meaning of hurt
[Verse 2:] Back when gas was thirty cents a gallon And sweet magnolias line those country roads We burned a tank of love most every weekend And on work days I helped 'em fix the roads My friends were many and our dreams were certain Whoever thought we'd go our separate ways.
