Well, things always cost a little more
|
When you buy them at the Sweaburg Store
|
But the drive into town made it the same
|
So it didn't matter, anyway
|
You could wake him up if your tank was on empty
|
They wouldn't be happy, but they'd fill it up anyway
|
I guess that's just the way things go
|
The Sweaburg General Store is closed
|
Better fill 'er up on your way home
|
It's a sign of the times, I suppose
|
Up and down the concessions, everybody knows
|
The Sweaburg General Store is closed
|
Well. town is a half an hour's drive
|
And you're lucky to get out of there alive
|
And then there's something you forgot
|
And then-a half the day is shot
|
And it oughta be a law
|
It oughta be a crime
|
That's what they're saying on the 19th Line
|
We took it for granted, how were we to know
|
The Sweaburg General Store is closed
|
Better fill 'er up on your way home
|
It's a sign of the times, I suppose
|
Up and down the concessions, everybody knows
|
The Sweaburg General Store is closed
|
Well Pa says it's been there for seventy years
|
And it used to be an outlet for Simpson-Sears
|
Ma said she bought her wedding dress there
|
And they threw in the flowers that she wore in her hair
|
They closed it once before back in '37
|
But they opened it again at the end of the Depression
|
I guess these times are just like those
|
The Sweaburg General Store is closed
|
Better fill 'er up on your way home
|
It's a sign of the times, I suppose
|
Up and down the concessions, everybody knows
|
The Sweaburg General Store is closed
|
The Sweaburg General Store is closed
|
Better fill 'er up on your way home
|
Up and down the concessions, everybody knows
|
The Sweaburg General (thought it would never)
|
The Sweaburg General Store is closed
