TWO PUMP TEXACO
Diamond Rio
(Note: Just play G during the verses. No chord changes until chorus starts)
Intro
(G) He was wipin’ water
off her dipstick
She was pullin’ on the hair
that got caught in her lipstick
And with the smell of her perfume
he forgot the smell of gasoline
As he was toppin’ off her tank
she said, How far to Abilene
(Em) He sees ‘em (D) come
(C) He sees ‘em (G) go
(Em) From the (D) island of his
(C) Two pump Texaco
Repeat Intro
(G)There’s a rusted out Rambler
up on the rack
And a pile of bald Goodyear’s
out in the back
He meets families on vacation,
bikers and businessmen
He calls ‘em friend but he’ll
probably never see ‘em again
No he won’t
(Em) He sees ‘em (D) come
(C) He sees ‘em (G) go
(Em) From the (D) island of his
(C) Two pump Texaco
(Em) He keeps ‘em (D) moving
(C) On down the (G) road
(Em) Come back real (D) soon
To his (C) two pump Texaco
He's (Em) heard about those
big city (D) shop-n-go stations
with (C) twenty automated
self (G) service machines
(Em) He just feels sorry for them
(D) big city people
They (C) must not know what (D) service really means
(No Chord) He’s got a sign that says:
(G) Last chance stop for at least two hundred miles.
Maps, gas, soda pop,
Lucky Strikes and Moon Pies.
Yeah, he’s a third generation
filler-up, full service man
He thanks the Lord
for that star in the sky
and the grease on his hands
(Em) He sees ‘em (D) come
(C) He sees ‘em (G) go
(Em) From the (D) island of his
(C) Two pump Texa(D)co
(Em) It’s like a (D) place (C) we used to (G) know
(Em) Come back real (D) soon
To his (C) two pump Texaco
Outro
Spoken: "May I help you ma'am. Sure..rev 'er up. You know what it sounds to me like?
Nah, won't cost much."
