VerseMost of the favorite memories

of my boyhood days in Arkansas

Are scattered around an old wood

stove at a place we call John's

It was just an old tar paper shack

With a pump out front

and some junk out back

But inside

there was always a hot cup of coffee

And a warm place

around the fire for anyone

John pumped gas

for a living and he fixed tires on the side

And I guess

old John could fix most anything

If you didn't push it he'd try

And he gave me my first charge

account for some gas

And financed my first date

Even fixed my old radio

just in case I got lucky

And wanted to park down by the lake

And among the carburetors

and the re-built generators

I spent the whole night

picking on an old flattop guitar

John would play the fiddle

and I'd always sing a little

No there is no place to get

filled up the way you could at John's

John taught me a whole lot

about country music because he loved it

We'd sit up and listen to

the Grand Ole Opry every Saturday night

Nobody would ever say a word

not even during Martha White

And I was awfully young back then

but still I knew just why

That John closed the shop the whole day

When we heard that Hank had died

There was something else

special about ole John

He had a way of making us

kids feel important

Simply by giving us

a good clean place to hang out

Well I can still hear him

saying pumping gas is a fever boys

It'll get in your blood

and it'll make your face break out in a grin

Just to check old lady Hanson's oil

or to help a stranded friend

And among the carburetors

and the re-built generators

I spent the whole night

picking on an old flattop guitar

John would play the fiddle

and I'd always sing a little

No there is no place to get

filled up the way you could at John's

And among the carburetors

and the re-built generators

I spent the whole night

picking on an old flattop guitar

John would play the fiddle

and I'd always sing a little

No there is no place to get

filled up the way you could at John's
