The Great Filling Station Holdup

================================

By Jimmy Buffett

Intro: G D A D

D

I pulled into the regular pump

G D

I was feelin' quite at ease

E A

I rolled down my window and told the man, "Fifty cents worth please"

G D

Then out jumped my partner with his trusty pellet gun

D D A D

He said, "Boy, this is a holdup, keep 'a pumpin' and don't run"

Chorus:

G A D

And now I wish I was somewhere other than here

G A E A

Down in some honky tonk, sippin' on a beer

G A D

Yes I wish I was somewhere other than here

G D

Cause that great fillin' station holdup

A D

Cost me two good years

We got fifteen dollars and a can of STP

A big ole jar of cashew nuts and a Japanese TV

Feelin' we had pulled the biggest heist of our career

We're wanted men, we'll strike again

But first let's have a beer

(repeat chorus)

We were sittin' in the Krystal

About as drunk as we could be

In walked the deputy sheriff

And he's holdin' our TV

He roughed us and he cuffed us

And he took us off to jail

No picture on a poster, no reward and no bail

(repeat chorus and fade)
