Fifty Cents of Gas

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Fifty-six years, and I still can see That little station where you looked at me Fifty cents of gas, a stranger in town My daddy's badge and his patrol car round He waved me home and I did what he said But somebody kept me in his head [Chorus] Oh, you never took no for your answer Came knocking on my mama's door She loved you like her own that evening And I've been loving you ever more Through all these years, my whole life through Steve, it's always been you [Verse 2] The chief drove by, but you weren't scared You walked right up like you always dared You won my mother with that easy grin And just like that, you were family then Fifty-five years since we said our vows And I'd choose you again right now [Chorus] Oh, you never took no for your answer Came knocking on my mama's door She loved you like her own that evening And I've been loving you ever more Through all these years, my whole life through Steve, it's always been you [Bridge] Six babies rocked and raised with care Twenty-one more with your eyes to spare And nine tiny hearts still on their way Lord, we are blessed in every way [Verse 3] From a gallon of gas to a house of gold Filled up with love as the years unfold I'd drive that road a thousand times Just to end up here with your hand in mine Steve, my darling, my steady flame I'd fall all over for you again [Chorus] Oh, you never took no for your answer Came knocking on my mama's door She loved you like her own that evening And I've been loving you ever more Through all these years, my whole life through Steve, it's always been you [Outro] Fifty-six years since that station light And I'd say yes to you tonight
