The Great Filling Station Holdup by Jimmy Buffett

D        
I pulled into the regular pump  
      G                D  
I was feelin' quite at ease  
                                           E7                A7  
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                              A                 D  
He said, "Boy, this is a holdup, keep 'a pumpin' and don't run"  
  
          G          A                    D  
And now I wish I was somewhere other than here  
G            A           E7           A7  
Down in some honky tonk, sippin' on a beer  
      G          A                    D  
Yes I wish I was somewhere other than here  
           G                     D      A                D    
Cause that great fillin' station holdup 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  
  
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  
  
Chorus
