By: jimmy buffett   1973   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      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      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      (guitar instrumental)      We were sittin' in the krystal   About as drunk as we could be   In walks the deputy sheriff   And he's holdin' our tv   Roughed us then 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      Coda:   Yes that great fillin' station holdup   It cost me two good years
