Gasoline & Goodbyes
A Country Song about Dangerous Love.
by manyface music
Gasoline & Goodbyes is one of those songs where you already know how it ends…
but you go for it anyway.
It came from that kind of attraction that doesn’t feel safe. The kind that shows up loud, fast, and a little reckless. You can tell right away that it’s not built to last, but maybe you don’t care.
The song marries Rockabilly imagery with honky tonk sound, and presents the story of a girl who’s gone before you can even catch your breath.
"Now I shoulda known from her damn smile, there's no comin' back from a girl that wild. There's just..."

Gasoline & Goodbyes Lyrics - Manyface Music
[Verse 1]
Little Mama came in her vintage ride,
Hopped a curb, invited me inside,
Paint was chipped, her lipstick red.
Kissed me once and wrecked my head.
[Chorus]
Don’t love a girl with matchstick eyes.
Her tail lights flash like alibis.
Cuz you’ll give her love, but all she’ll give -
Gasoline ‘n Goodbyes
[Verse 2]
I knew she wasn’t what she seemed,
But that engine purred just like a dream.
Her headlights had a hold on me -
So I just smiled and took the key.
[Chorus]
Don’t love a girl with matchstick eyes.
Her tail lights flash like alibis.
Cuz you’ll give her love, but all she’ll give -
Gasoline ‘n Goodbyes.
[Verse 3]
I held on with all my might -
As she laughed while running, every light.
The tires screamed, that pedal floored.
As the wheels came off, the engine roared.
[Outro]
Now I shoulda known from her damn smile -
There’s no comin’ back from a girl that wild.
There’s just -
Gasoline ‘n Goodbyes.
