1973
3
I pulled into the regular pump
4
I was feelin' quite at ease
5
I rolled down my window and told the man, "Fifty cents worth please"
6
Then out jumped my partner with his trusty pellet gun
7
He said, "Boy this is a holdup, keep 'a pumpin' and don't run"
8
Chorus:
9
And now I wish I was somewhere other than here
10
Down in some honky tonk, sippin' on a beer
11
Yes I wish I was somewhere other than here
12
Because that great fillin' station holdup
13
Cost me two good years
14
We got fifteen dollars and a can of STP
15
A big ol' jar of cashew nuts and a Japanese TV
16
Feelin' we had pulled the biggest heist of our career
17
We're wanted men, we'll strike again
18
But first let's have a beer
19
Chorus:
20
And now I wish I was somewhere other than here
21
Down in some honky tonk, sippin' on a beer
22
Yes I wish I was somewhere other than here
23
Because that great fillin' station holdup
24
Cost me two good years
25
(guitar instrumental)
26
We were sittin' in the Krystal
27
About as drunk as we could be
28
In walks the deputy sheriff
29
And he's holdin' our TV
30
Roughed us then he cuffed us
31
And he took us off to jail
32
No pictures on a poster, no reward and no bail
33
Chorus:
34
And now I wish I was somewhere other than here
35
Down in some honky tonk, sippin' on a beer
36
Yes I wish I was somewhere other than here
37
'Cause that great fillin' station holdup
38
Cost me two good years
39
Coda:
40
Yes that great fillin' station holdup
41
It cost me two good years
