Great Filling Station Holdup Lyrics |
||
 By: Jimmy Buffett 1973 I pulled into the regular pump I was feelin` quite at ease I rolled down my window and told the man, "Fifty cents worth please" Then out jumped my partner with his trusty pellet gun He said, "Boy this is a holdup, keep `a pumpin` and don`t run" Chorus: And now I wish I was somewhere other than here Down in some honky tonk, sippin` on a beer Yes I wish I was somewhere other than here Because that great fillin` station holdup Cost me two good years We got fifteen dollars and a can of STP A big ol` 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 Chorus: And now I wish I was somewhere other than here Down in some honky tonk, sippin` on a beer Yes I wish I was somewhere other than here Because that great fillin` station holdup Cost me two good years (guitar instrumental) We were sittin` in the Krystal About as drunk as we could be In walks the deputy sheriff And he`s holdin` our TV Roughed us then he cuffed us And he took us off to jail No pictures on a poster, no reward and no bail Chorus: And now I wish I was somewhere other than here Down in some honky tonk, sippin` on a beer Yes I wish I was somewhere other than here `Cause that great fillin` station holdup Cost me two good years Coda: Yes that great fillin` station holdup It cost me two good years |
