An update to a song previously recorded with Good Without One, featuring Noble strat, Taylor CE110, fretless Fender pbass, and Hydrogen drums. I recently realized that I previously hadn't recorded on my own, so here it is with updated lyric.

Story behind the song
Notwithstanding the environmental impacts of fracking and burning fossil fuels, we occasionally feel the pinch when the price of oil soars. I've updated this song with its references to the Exxon Valdez with a verse for the orange one.
Lyrics
The Valdez Squeeze (the Price of Gasoline) I like to drive in the country, cruising in my clean machine But I ain’t been cruisin’ lately, ‘cause I just can’t pay the price of gasoline I never owned me a caddie cause I don’t need no big limousine Now I’m won’t drive in my Honda, cause I just can’t pay the price of gasoline Up in Alaska, that crew got plastered and caused a spill That oil gushed out, and there ain’t no doubt, who paid the bill Our president lies to coal miners. he ain’t worried that fracking’s unclean he’s pandering to the Koch brothers, who got filthy rich from selling gasoline Based on the rate of consumption the reserves will keep getting lean But while they’re not charging for sun light, why do we pay the price of gasoline? That spill was polar, but when there’s solar, who’ll mind the till? The sun keeps pumping, without gunking, so get your fill. It’s not just the words with 4 letters that turn out to be obscene Try BP, Atlantic and Exxon when you pay the price of gasoline
