Fill Her Up          
             


Words and music by Sting 
Sting, James Taylor Chorus 

Mobile station, 
Where I stand 
This old gas pump 
In my hand. 

The Boss don't like me 
Face like a weasel, 
All on my hands 
The smell of diesel. 

Here comes the big shot, 
Here he comes! 
From the city. 
God Damn! 
A V-8 engine 
She runs so pretty. 
Woo! 
Fill 'er up son 
With unleaded. 
I need a full tank of gas 
where I'm headed 
Up in the front seat 
A pretty red head, 
We're going to Vegas 
We're gonna get wed 
So fill her up son! 
Don't be starin'! 
Yeah that's a real diamond she be wearin'. 
I'm gonna treat my baby one day. 
I'm gonna fill her up and head out West. 
I'm gonna find some money alright. Yeah 
That's it. 
See those tail lights headed West 
I got no money 
to invest 
I got no prospects 
or education 
I was lucky to get the job at this gas station 

That old cash box 
That old cash box 
On the top shelf 
On the top shelf 
The boss is sleeping 
The boss is sleeping 
I'll just help myself 
Let's consider this 
as just a loan 
I can sort it out later on the phone 

I'm gonna pick my girl up tonight 
I'm gonna fill 'er up and head west 
I'm gonna show her all the bright lights 
We're gonna say we lived 'fore we come home 
And as I head through the woods on the way back 
The evening sun is slanting through the pine trees real pretty 
it's like i walked into a glade of heaven 
and there's music playing 
and this money is cold in my hand and voice somewhere says: 
'Why were you going to take that stolen thing? 
What real happiness can it bring?' 
Ahhh Ohhhh Ahhhh Ohhhh 
Ahhhohhhh......Ohhhh 
You're gonna fill her up with sadness 
You're gonna fill her up with shame 
You're gonna fill her up with sorrow before she even takes your name 
You're gonna fill her up with madness 
You're gonna fill her up with pain 
You're gonna live with no tommorow 
You're gonna fill her up with hate 
You're gonna fill her up darkness 
You're gonna fill her up with light 
You gotta fill her up with Jesus! 
You gotta fill her up with light! 
You gotta fill her up with spirit! Fill her up! 
You've gotta fill her up with faith 
You gotta fill her up with heaven! 
You've got the rest of life to face 
You've gotta fill her up right away 
You've gotta fill her up with faith 
You've gotta fill her up with babies(?!!?) 
You've gotta fill her up with this way 
You're gonna love that girl forever 
Your gonna fill her up for life 
You're gonna be her loving husband 
She gonna be your loving wife 
You've gotta fill her up with gladness. 
You gotta fill her up with joy! 
You gotta fill her up with love, You gotta fill her up with love 
You gotta fill her up with love
