Lyrics
Well, a 4.4 60 is an engine pretty mean
It's shittin' out bolts and pissin' gasoline
Seven and a quarter tons of pure move power
Rollin' down the road at eight miles a gallon
When you hit the hammer lane, mash the engine to the floor
The CB's a crackin' with the truck stop whore
Hard to hear twenty when the engine valves rattle
Rollin' down the road at eight miles a gallon
To your boys or deployed, if it's me you're fightin' for
Need democracy and gasoline and worldwide rock and roll
And I'm prayin' every day that if you make it through the battle
I don't feel so guilty about eight miles a gallon
So I invent a big engine, make it run on bullshit
Put it on the highway, buddy, it'll never quit
Invent a big engine, make it run on bullshit
Put it on a train track, buddy, it'll never quit
Invent a big engine, make it run on bullshit
Put it on a chassis, buddy, it'll never quit
Invent a big engine, make it run on bullshit
Put it on the highway, buddy, it'll never quit
From Washington to Arlington to the house of Shy
They all be needin' shovels so they can have a job
And I'll be livin' happy in the shadow, know I'm valid
Rollin' down the road at eight miles a gallon
