The Lonely Little Thrift Store
|
|
By the sidewalk there with the cracks in it
|
with the mexican restaurant next to it
|
With the clothes for the big and the fat in it
|
and the moth ball smell to the hats in it
|
is the lonely little thrift store,
|
the hard luck little thrift store where I go
|
|
Yeah
|
|
Well it's an old store front from the 30's
|
and it gives you a feel of the old days
|
and the next door barber shop
|
where famous athletes used to stop
|
but now its plain and now its down
|
and there's garbage on the ground
|
well the lonely little thrift store
|
the hard luck little thrift store where I go.
|
|
Well all right.
|
|
Well the avocado green appliances
|
with the smell of domestic violences
|
and the dusty faber wear
|
and the rusty dinette chair
|
in the lonely little thrift store
|
the hard luck little thrift store where I go.
|
|
Yeah
|
|
The record by the 101 strings
|
and all those lonely little things
|
see how that popcorn poppers looks sad
|
because of the short little life it's had
|
once it was a happy wedding gift
|
but when they split it too got left
|
at the lonely little thrift store
|
the hard luck little thrift store where I go.
|
|
Yeah
|
