The Great Filling Station Holdup
================================
By Jimmy Buffett
Intro:
G D A D
DI pulled into the regular pump
I was Gfeelin' quite at Dease
I rolled down my window and told the man, E"Fifty cents worth Aplease"
TGhen out jumped my partner with his Dtrusty pellet gun
He said, "DBoy, this is a Dholdup, keep 'a Apumpin' and don't Drun"
Chorus:
And now I Gwish I was sAomewhere other than Dhere
DGown in some hAonky tonk, sEippin' on a Abeer
Yes I Gwish I was sAomewhere other than Dhere
Cause that Ggreat fillin' station Dholdup
CAost me two good Dyears
DWe got fifteen dollars
And a Gcan of DSTP
A big ole jar of cashew nuts and a EJapanese ATV
GFeelin' we had pulled the biggest Dheist of our career
We're Dwanted men, we'll Dstrike again,
ABut first let's have a Dbeer
And now I Gwish I was sAomewhere other than Dhere
DGown in some hAonky tonk, sEippin' on a Abeer
Yes I Gwish I was sAomewhere other than Dhere
Cause that Ggreat fillin' station Dholdup
CAost me two good Dyears
We were Dsittin' in the Krystal
About as Gdrunk as we could Dbe
GIn walked the deputy sheriff
And he's Eholdin' our ATV
GHe roughed us and he Dcuffed us
And he Dtook us off to Gjail
DNo picture on a Aposter, no reward and no Dbail
(Repeat chorus and fade)
And noGw I wish I waAs somewhere other thDan here
DGown in some hAonky tonk, sEippin' on a Abeer
Yes I Gwish I was sAomewhere other than Dhere
Cause that Ggreat fillin' station Dholdup
CAost me two good Dyears
