August 14, 2003
Intro: (G) (D) (A) (D)
(D) I pulled into the regular pump
I was (G) feelin' quite at (D) ease
I rolled down my window and told the man, (E) "Fifty cents worth (A) please"
Then (G) out jumped my partner with his (D) trusty pellet gun
He said, "Boy, this is a holdup, keep 'a (A) pumpin' and don't (D) run"
And now I (G) wish I was (A) somewhere other than (D) here
(G) Down in some (A) honky tonk, (E) sippin' on a (A) beer
Yes I (G) wish I was (A) somewhere other than (D) here
Cause that (G) great fillin' station (D) holdup
(A) Cost me two good (D) years
(D) We got fifteen dollars and a (G) can of ST(D)P
A big ole jar of cashew nuts and a (E) Japanese T(A)V
(G) Feelin' we had pulled the biggest (D) heist of our career
We're wanted men, we'll strike again
But (A) first let's have a (D) beer
And now I (G) wish I was (A) somewhere other than (D) here
(G) Down in some (A) honky tonk, (E) sippin' on a (A) beer
Yes I (G) wish I was (A) somewhere other than (D) here
Cause that (G) great fillin' station (D) holdup
(A) Cost me two good (D) years
We were (D) sittin' in the Krystal
About as (G) drunk as we could (D) be
In walked the deputy sheriff
And he's (E) holdin' our T(A)V
He (G) roughed us and he cuffed us
And he (D) took us off to jail
No picture on a poster
No (A) reward and no bail
And now I (G) wish I was (A) somewhere other than (D) here
(G) Down in some (A) honky tonk, (E) sippin' on a (A) beer
Yes I (G) wish I was (A) somewhere other than (D) here
Cause that (G) great fillin' station (D) holdup
(A) Cost me two good (D) years
Fade Out
