Lyrics
Album version
Gimme coffee, king-sized cup
Come on, kitty cat, fill 'er up
"What's your name, little buttercup?"
That's for me to know and you to make up
Love casinos, Indian reservations
But, baby, if you love me
Take me to the gas station
Gas station
Look at you smokin' in them neon lights
Under the thunder, yo, you look so nice
Make me wonder how you spend them nights
Me, I spend them looking for men I like
Like you, like you, like you
Love casinos, Indian reservations
But, baby, if you love me
Take me to the gas station
Take me to the gas station
Gimme coffee, Utah love
I'm the kinda girl you dream of
And I'm tryin' to tell you what I dream of
And that's gas stations
With Slurpee machines and organs playin'
Preferably with smoking inside, if you can swing it
(Swing it, swing it, swing it)
And I'd be real pleased
If we could find one just like it
Again, again, again
Again, again, again
Again, again, again
Again, again
Love casinos, Indian reservations
But, baby, if you love me
Take me to the gas station
Gas station, gas station
Gas station, gas station
Gas station
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Demo version one/"Queen" demo version
Gimme coffee, king-size cup
Come on, kitty cat, fill 'er up
"What's your name, little buttercup?"
That's for me to know and you to make up
Love casinos, Indian reservations
But, baby, if you love me
Take me to the gas station
Look at you smokin' in them neon lights
Under the thunder, oh, you look so nice
Make me wonder how you spend them nights
Me, I spend them lookin' for men I like
Like you, like you, like you
Love casinos, Indian reservations
But, baby, if you love me
Take me to the gas station
Love casinos, Indian reservations
But, baby, if you love me
Take me to the gas station
Gimme coffee, Utah love
I'm the kinda girl you dream of
And I'm tryin' to tell you what I dream of
And that's gas stations
With Slurpee machines and organs playin'
Preferably with smoking inside, if you can swing it
Maybe with a post office attached to it
Chickens runnin' in and out of it
Saw one like that in New Mexico on Route 66
And I'd be real pleased
If we could find one just like it
Again, again, again, again
Again, again, again, again
Love casinos, Indian reservations
But, baby, if you love me
Take me to the gas station
Love casinos, Indian reservations
But, baby, if you love me
Take me to the gas station
Gas station
Acoustic demo
Gimme coffee, king-size cup
Come on, kitty cat, fill 'er up
"What's your name, little buttercup?"
That's for me to know and you to make up
Cap casino, Indian reservation
But, baby, if you love me
Take me to the gas station, oh
Look at you smokin' in them neon lights
Under the thunder, oh, you look so nice
Makes me wonder how you spend them nights
Me, I spend them lookin' for men I like
Like you, like you, like you
Love casinos, Indian reservations
But, baby, if you love me
Take me to the gas station, station
Gimme coffee, Utah love
I'm the kind of girl you dream of
And I'm tryin' to tell you what I dream of
And that's gas stations
With Slurpee machines and organs playin'
And preferably with smokin' inside, if you can swing it
Maybe with a post office attached to it
With chickens runnin' in and out of it
I saw one like that in New Mexico on Route 66
And I'd be real pleased
If we could find one just like it
Again, again, again, again
Again, again, again, again
Again
(Indiscernible), Indian reservations
But, baby, if you love me
Take me to the gas station
Love casinos, Indian reservations
But, baby, if you love me
Take me to the gas station
Gas station
