Lyrics The Great Filling Station Holdup

I pulled into the regular pump
I was feelin' quite at ease
I rolled down my window and told the man
Fifty cents worth please
Then out jumped my partner with his trusty pellet gun
He said Boy this is a holdup
Keep a-pumpin' and don't run
And now I wish I was somewhere other than here
Down in some honky tonk sippin' on a beer
Yes I wish I was somewhere other than here
Because that great fillin' station holdup cost me two good years
We got fifteen dollars and a can of STP
A big ol' 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
Now I wish I was somewhere other than here
Down in some honky tonk sippin' on a beer
Yes I wish I was somewhere other than here
Because that great fillin' station holdup cost me two good years
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 then he cuffed us and he took us off to jail
No pictures on a poster
No reward and no bail
And now I wish I was somewhere other than here
Down in some honky tonk sippin' on a beer
Yes I wish I was somewhere other than here
'Cos that great fillin' station holdup cost me two good years
'Cos that great fillin' station holdup it cost me two good years
