LIQUOR STORE by Jeff Callaway


LIQUOR STORE
by jeff callaway

i’m going to the liquor store
i’m going to the liquor store
i’m going to kick off my shoes
and start singing the blues
and find a piece of the night
to set on fire, i’m on fire
i work so hard for so little pay
i party all night to sleep all damn day
and life can be a drag man
life can be a bore
but i know i can always go
down to the liquor store
on those lonely nights
when i want to get drunk and fight
i want to chase the moonshine
into the light
when i feel so lonely
i think i could die
when i’m going across that line
i’m trying to stay between the lines
cause Johnny Law will hit you with the fine
but i want to have a good time
when all is said and done
i can still have a little fun
if i have the money to buy some
down at the liquor store
down at the liquor store
