This is a little Ditty I wrote out yesterday at Starbucks, Skyped James and sang a little melody idea; then he took it from there. It would just be a poem without his work. He also shaped up my rough lyrics...
A Tank of Gas
© 2011 Jon Hanson and James Cain
She said: you could buy me dinner
Or you could cut the grass
But if you really loved me—honey
You'd buy me a tank of gas
Do you remember backing up the car
And killing fluffy my cat?
I'd forget it all completely darling
If buy me a tank of gas
Diamonds were a girl's best friend
But those days are in the past
Now to get a girls attention
Just buy her a tank of Gas
[Mandolin Break]
When you mixed up my medicine
And I got that awful rash
I’m itching to forget it honey
If you buy me a tank of gas
Diamonds were a girl's best friend
But those days are in the past
Now to get a girls attention
Just buy her a tank of Gas
