Oh, the gristle of love left a stain on her soul
with the first taste of fire down a flat country road
when the old diesel devil comes rattling his chains
send a gasoline angel to fan out the flames
When she gives up the ghost in the gravel pit
and the wrap her in twine and an old fairground tent
let the call for revival ring out through the land
send a gasoline angel to lend her a hand
If the chariot of wood comes undone in the rain
let her soul hitch a ride on a great gospel train
if upon that old railroad the devil still roams
send a gasoline angel to fly her on home
