Intro
Verse 1
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"
Chorus
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
Verse 2
We got fifteen dollars and a can of STP
A big ole 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
Chorus
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
Instrumental
Verse 3
We were sittin' in the Crystal, 'bout as drunk as we could be
In walks a deputy sheriff and he's holdin' our TV
He roughed us and he cuffed us and he took us off to jail
No pictures on a poster, no reward and no bail
Chorus
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
'Cause that great fillin' station holdup
Cost me two good years
Outro
Yes, that great fillin' station holdup
It cost me two good years
