Rodney Crowell

Some much beauty, ----
Snoop down on you like a burning bush
Up Religion, bull within
There ain't nothing but the shape you're in
Oh c'mon nouw girl
------- nude magazine
This mean old world runs on sex and gasoline

19 candles are on your cake
Life's simple plesure is the chance you take
Hears the skinny, ----
Sometime later you can binge and purge

Oh c'mon now girl
We both know what I mean
This mean old world runs on sex and gasoline

You're pushing thirty
Why , you old hag
Here's something dirty for your shopping bag
You spend the money
Here's the deal
We'll do our best to mend your sex appeal

Oh c'mon now girl
This process is routine
This mean old world runs on sex and gasoline

You're over forty, as if few
I'm pretty sure there's nothing else we can do
Perhaps the convent, perhaps the knife
You could've, should've, would've,been a rich man's wife

Oh c'mon old girl
---------
This mean old world runs on sex and gasoline

Tiring old story, sad but true
We mama's boys have got it in for you
I fall to many, -----
We never loved you and we never will


Oh c'mon old girl
It's time we both come clean
This mean old world runs on sex and gasoline

From the first grade princess to the last home-coming queen
This mean old world runs on sex and gasoline
Oh yes, and your mother's world ran on sex and gasoline
