#51 – The Great Filling Station Holdup
This is one of those great songs, a song that ties Jimmy’s humor with his ability to paint a picture, which allows you see the whole story in your mind. Of all the quirky lyrics, I think the TV mentions are my favorite. “We got fifteen dollars and a can of STP, A big old jar of cashew nuts and a Japanese TV” and later “In walked the deputy sheriff, he was holding our TV”. “Our TV”, because they stole it and possession make it theirs? Jimmy’s ability to use wit in his songs is something I appreciate so very much.
