[Intro]
G D A
D D D D
[Verse 1]
D
I pulled into the regular pump
G D
I was feelin' quite at ease
D E A
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 D A D
He said, "Boy, this is a holdup, keep a-pumpin' and don't run"
[Chorus]
G A D
And now I wish I was somewhere other than here
G A E A
Down in some honky tonk, sippin' on a beer
G A D
Yes, I wish I was somewhere other than here
G D
Because that great fillin' station holdup
A D
Cost me two good years
[Verse 2]
D G D
We got fifteen dollars and a can of STP
D E A
A big ole jar of cashew nuts and a Japanese TV
G D
Feelin' we had pulled the biggest heist of our career
D D
We're wanted men, we'll strike again
A D
But first let's have a beer
[Chorus]
G A D
Now I wish I was somewhere other than here
G A E A
Down in some honky tonk, sippin' on a beer
G A D
Yes, I wish I was somewhere other than here
G D
Because that great fillin' station holdup
A D
Cost me two good years
[Instrumental]
D D G D
D D E A
G G D D
D D A D
[Verse 3]
D G D
We were sittin' in the Crystal, 'bout as drunk as we could be
D E A
In walks a deputy sheriff and he's holdin' our TV
G D
He roughed us and he cuffed us and he took us off to jail
D D A D
No pictures on a poster, no reward and no bail
[Chorus]
G A D
And now I wish I was somewhere other than here
G A E A
Down in some honky tonk, sippin' on a beer
G A D
Yes, I wish I was somewhere other than here
G D
'Cause that great fillin' station holdup
A D
Cost me two good years
[Outro]
G D
Yes, that great fillin' station holdup
A D
It cost me two good years
