The Great Filling Station Holdup Written by: Jimmy Buffett Performed by: Jimmy Buffett Peak Chart Position: Billboard Country Chart: #58; Originally from the Album: A White Sport Coat & A Pink Crustacean (1973) |
Jimmy’s Notes: Before convenience stores and crack cocaine became popular, filling station holdups were the big crimes in much of the rural South. I got the idea for this song from an actual newspaper article that described the recovered property from one such holdup. For some reason it just struck me as funny. |
Lyrics: 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 pumpin' and don't run." (Chorus) We got fifteen dollars and a can of STP |
