A Little Gasoline

A Little Gasoline
Sung by Terri Clark

Throwing pictures out the window
Scattered by the way the wind blows
Bye bye baby, that's the last I'll see of you
Shoebox full of old love letters
I'll tear each one til I feel better
And I won't look back
Cause I don't like the view

What my heart needs now is rest
So I'm packing up and I'm heading west
My mind's made up
I put it to the test
Pushing myself and this old machine
Burning fumes and what's left of my dreams
Let em go cause I don't need no strings
Just gimme the road and a little gasoline

We talked in circles til the words ran out
And it all came down to an angry shout
Before I knew it I was in third gear and gone
Well this had been coming for a long long time
If I said I'm sorry well I'd be lying
If you think I'd never make well you'd be wrong

When I first heard this song, I was in a car on the way to my girlfriend's house, with my girlfriend, her roommate, who wanted me dead(or something) and the roommate's girlfriend. I remember hearing the voice and having a mental pause, thinking "Hey! That's Terri Clark!"

Now you have to understand. I have loved Terri Clark since the first time I heard her voice. Another case of instant love. ^_^

So there I am, in the middle of a tiny pregnant roller skate that wants to be called a car (I REALLY hope her roommate doesn't read that...I love you...and Henry...really...) and I'm sitting, cramped up(which is a major feat for me) and I'm listening to this song.

By the end of the first chorus I had chills. I literally shivered.

One thing I will do that I have in common with the senshi of the sky is I WILL run from my emotions if I am not forced to confront them. Make that, if I allow myself to be forced to confront them.

This song is very non confrontational. And so am I. Hell, I moved cross country so I wouldn't have to tell someone I fell out of love with them. (No, J. it's not you ^_^)

Funny thing...I DID move west when I ran from that ex. Odd? I don't know.
