Vox Momenti: Sweet Gasoline
By Vox Momenti | 25 Apr, 2026

Nostalgia for cheap gas only takes you so far.

 Verse 1
Where it began
I can’t begin to knowin’
But then I know it’s growin’ strong
Was in the spring
Back when the pumps were smilin’
Thirty-five cents didn’t feel wrong

Pre-Chorus
Hands on the wheel
Windows down, radio playin’
Didn’t think twice ’bout the miles
Gas station lights
Buzzin’ soft on a Friday
Fill it up and still got a smile

Chorus
Sweet gasoline
Ba ba baaa
Good times never seemed so good
So good! So good! So good!
Sweet gasoline
Ba ba baaa
Now it costs more than it should

Verse 2
Look at it now
Prices climbin’ like a fever
Numbers jumpin’ off the sign
Who lit the match?
Folks say it’s all connected
To dreams of glory out of line

Pre-Chorus
There in the air
Talk of wars and bravado
Lines get drawn in desert sand
Somewhere along
Came the itch for the spotlight
From Donald Trump’s heavy hand

Chorus
Sweet gasoline
Ba ba baaa
Good times never seemed so good
So good! So good! So good!
Sweet gasoline
Ba ba baaa
Now we’re payin’ what we should

Bridge
Fillin’ up feels like a gamble now
Numbers spin and you just shake your head
Used to drive just for the hell of it
Now you’re thinkin’ ’bout the cost instead

Verse 3 (EV Turn)
Lately I’ve been
Thinkin’ ’bout a quiet motor
Plug it in and let it ride
No pump, no line
Just hummin’ down the highway
Watchin’ all that stress subside

Pre-Chorus
Maybe it’s time
Trade the fumes for a future
Leave the old days in the past
Still hear that song
But the road’s a little different
And the change might finally last

Final Chorus
Sweet gasoline
Ba ba baaa
Good times never seemed so good
So good! So good! So good!
Sweet gasoline
Ba ba baaa
Now we knew we never could

Outro Tag
Sweet gasoline…
Or maybe somethin’ new
Rollin’ clean and quiet too…
Still I sing for you
