Four Sixty-Nine © Ben Burton JUNE 11, 2008 I pumped that diesel in 'til she was full Then cleaned my wallet out 'til it was dry I got her buttoned up and realized It almost wouldn't pay to make the ride It's four sixty-nine and that price just keeps on risin' I'm backing off the hammer tryin' to save It's four sixty-nine, not sure when I'll be arrivin' Don't pay to be a cowboy now-a-days In six years I drove ev'ry state but one That's cause my big rig ain't learned how to swim Since prices went and made my pickin's slim I fill my tank with Sprite and M&M's It's four sixty-nine and that price just keeps on risin' I'm backing off the hammer tryin' to save It's four sixty-nine, not sure when I'll be arrivin' Don't pay to be a cowboy now-a-days If someone don't produce a quick solution Like looking here at home to find some oil Then greenies needn't worry 'bout pollution Except from tons of food about to spoil It's four sixty-nine and that price just keeps on risin' I'm backing off the hammer tryin' to save It's four sixty-nine, not sure when I'll be arrivin' Don't pay to be a cowboy now-a-days
