Liquor store liquor store
|
One on every corner
|
Malt liquor cigarettes
|
Lottery
|
|
The car is running
|
And kicking out fumes
|
You've disappeared inside
|
To buy the daily quota
|
I'm fending for myself
|
To a popular tune
|
Digging in the ashtray
|
Hoping for a quarter
|
|
Mile on mile of transient hotels
|
Unattended children with nowhere to play
|
Anger rips down Pine Street
|
In the form of a black Chevelle
|
But the Baptists keep singin' away
|
|
One lone Palm tree is rising up above
|
Its glamour & dignity are so out of place
|
An ancient pick-up truck is looking for a shove
|
The congregation sings "Amazing Grace"
