A
Two dollars shy of a five dollar bill
Last mile I pushed my truck uphill
E
About hurt me
A
I left my truck by the pump right where I parked it
Walked through the doors of the Last Chance Market
E
Have mercy, I was thirsty
     G
The guy behind the counter said what's it gonna be
       A                  B
I said I don't know man, you tell me

Chorus:
        E                   G
It's a gallon of gas, or a cold six pack
      A                   E
One goes in my tank, one comes in a sack
 A                                        B  D
Makes life complicated when it costs the same
         E                G
Hell it ain't no fun, to do without one
          A                         E
But I'll do a lot of walkin' if my motor don't run
        A
It's a tough ol' choice to make if
                  B
you know what I mean
                         E
It's either beer of gasoline

I could feel that video camera watch me
Checkin' out the sale on the ol' Milwaukee
(Mmm) Three bucks to my name
That cooler had every brand known to man
Tall boys, bottles, and aluminum cans
(Aww) What a shame
And it's gettin' pretty bad when you
finally discover
It all comes down to either one or the other

Chorus

D
I could see where this is headed
C#
And I'm tired of talkin'
C
Cold beer unleaded
B              A E A B
Hell I'm walkin'

Chorus

Beer or gasoline
It's a gallon of gas, or a cold six pack
One goes in my tank, one comes in a sack
Now it ain't no fun to do without one
But I'll do a lot of walkin' if my motor don't run
