Cisco Clifton's Fillin' Station - Johnny Cash[00:00:00]

Cisco Clifton had a fillin' station[00:00:14]

About a mile and a half from town[00:00:16]

Most cars passed unless they were out of gas[00:00:19]

So Cisco was always around[00:00:23]

Regular gas was all that it sold[00:00:26]

Except tobacco matches and oil[00:00:28]

Other than that he fixed lots of flats[00:00:31]

Keepin' Cisco rough hands soiled[00:00:33]

He'd wipe the gas and check the air[00:00:37]

In a hundred times a day[00:00:39]

He patiently gave directions[00:00:42]

On how to get to the state highway[00:00:43]

Usually he'd give 'em water[00:00:49]

Or a tyre or two some air[00:00:51]

And once a big black Cadillac[00:00:53]

Spent seven dollars there[00:00:55]

He'd give anybody anything they'd ask[00:00:58]

And lend anything he had[00:01:00]

His tools are tyres bumper jacks or wire[00:01:02]

To the good ones or the bad[00:01:05]

In wintertime there was a depot stove[00:01:09]

And a table for a checker game[00:01:11]

And every mornin' at sunup[00:01:13]

The same checker players came[00:01:15]

So Cisco Clifton's fillin' station[00:01:21]

Was always in the red[00:01:24]

Personal loans were personally gone[00:01:26]

But never a word was said[00:01:29]

One mornin' at eight them checker players[00:01:31]

Heard a big bulldozer roar like a freight[00:01:33]

And Cisco said I hope my kids stay fed[00:01:36]

When they build that Interstate[00:01:39]

He'd managed to pay for property[00:01:41]

Where his little fillin' station sat[00:01:43]

And friends still came for checker game[00:01:46]

So Cisco settled for that[00:01:49]

He wouldn't say so but Cisco knew[00:01:52]

That the Interstate was too much to fight[00:01:54]

But to keep his will and to pay his bills[00:01:57]

He did odd jobs at night[00:02:01]

He still opened up at sunrise[00:02:03]

And the checker game went on[00:02:06]

The cars flew past on highest gas[00:02:08]

And the neighbors had sold out and gone[00:02:11]

If a car ever did go by he was lost[00:02:14]

And if they stopped they were treated the same[00:02:17]

So at Cisco Clifton's fillin' station[00:02:22]

There's a howdy and a checker game[00:02:26]
