Corner Store
|
|
Well I walked past just yesterday
|
And I couldn't bear that new mall no more
|
I can't expect you all to see it my way
|
But you may not know what was there before
|
And I want them to put back my old corner store.
|
|
Well I walked past just like I say
|
And I felt this hurt that would not go home
|
I can't expect that you're gonna see it my way
|
But you may not know the trees I've known
|
And I want them to put back my old corner store.
|
|
I know it costs more money to shop there
|
But this was love, this was love
|
I know you had to pay more money
|
I'll pay money, I'll pay more
|
I don't care what the mall has got
|
I want back that corner store
|
|
And what did I feel when I walked by slow
|
Sorrow sorrow, all around
|
Why I would feel sorrow I now know
|
I smell a ghost smell from the ground
|
That old wooden smell from the old corner store
|

|
|
I walked past one final time
|
And I wished the worst on the place I shop
|
Now I can't expect everyone to feel like I am
|
But I spot a trend that has got to stop
|
And I want them to put back that old corner store
|
|
Bam a nib a nib a nib way oh
|
Bam a nib a nib a way oh web oh

Bam a nib a nib a no Corner store Corner store
|
Bam a nib a nib a nib way oh
|
Bam a nib a nib a way oh web oh

Bam a nib a nib a no Corner store Corner store
