G D G D G D G D
He was wipin' motor oil off her dipstick
G D G D G D G D
She was pullin' on the hair that got caught in her lipstick
G D G D G D G D
And with the smell of her perfume he forgot the smell of gasoline
G D G D G D G
As he was toppin' off her tank she said, "How far to Abilene?"
[Chorus]
Em C D G
He sees 'em come, he sees 'em go

He calls 'em friend, but he'll probably never see 'em again
D G
No, he won't
[Chorus]
Em C D G
He sees 'em come, he sees 'em go
Em C D
From the island of his two pump Texaco

Come back real soon to his two pump Texaco

He's heard about those big city shop 'n' go stations
G D
With twenty automated self service machines
Em Bm
He just feels sorry for them big city people
C D
They must not know what service really means
He's got a sign that says
[Verse]
G D G D G D G D
Last chance stop for at least two hundred miles
G D G D G D G
Maps, gas, soda pop, Lucky Strikes and moon pies
G D G
Yeah, he's a third generation filler up, full service man
G
He thanks the Lord for that star in the sky
D G D
And the grease on his hands, yeah, he does
[Chorus]

He sees 'em come, he sees 'em go
