The Great Filling Station Holdup
================================
By Jimmy Buffett
Intro:
[tab]
I pulled into the regular pump[/tab]
[tab]
I was feelin quite at ease[/tab]
[tab]
I rolled down my window and told the man, "Fifty cents worth please"[/tab]
[tab]
Then out jumped my partner with his trusty pellet gun[/tab]
[tab]
He said, "Boy, this is a holdup, keep a pumpin and don t run"[/tab]
Chorus:
[tab]
And now I wish I was somewhere other than here[/tab]
[tab]
Down in some honky tonk, sippin on a beer[/tab]
[tab]
Yes I wish I was somewhere other than here[/tab]
[tab]
Cause that great fillin station holdup[/tab]
[tab]
Cost me two good years[/tab]
[tab]
We got fifteen dollars [/tab]
[tab]
And a can of STP[/tab]
[tab]
A big ole jar of cashew nuts and a Japanese TV[/tab]
[tab]
Feelin we had pulled the biggest heist of our career[/tab]
[tab]
We re wanted men, we ll strike again,[/tab]
[tab]
But first let s have a beer[/tab]
[tab]
And now I wish I was somewhere other than here[/tab]
[tab]
Down in some honky tonk, sippin on a beer[/tab]
[tab]
Yes I wish I was somewhere other than here[/tab]
[tab]
Cause that great fillin station holdup[/tab]
[tab]
Cost me two good years[/tab]
[tab]
We were sittin in the Krystal[/tab]
[tab]
About as drunk as we could be[/tab]
[tab]
In walked the deputy sheriff[/tab]
[tab]
And he s holdin our TV[/tab]
[tab]
He roughed us and he cuffed us[/tab]
[tab]
And he took us off to jail[/tab]
[tab]
No picture on a poster, no reward and no bail[/tab]
(repeat chorus and fade)
[tab]
And now I wish I was somewhere other than here[/tab]
[tab]
Down in some honky tonk, sippin on a beer[/tab]
[tab]
Yes I wish I was somewhere other than here[/tab]
[tab]
Cause that great fillin station holdup[/tab]
[tab]
Cost me two good years[/tab]
