Cheap Wine by Charlie Parr
Cheap Wine lyrics
All these old ladies comin� in here buyin� cheap wine
ain�t no better than all these bums comin� in here and
buy cheap wine. Leanin� against the counter on a gloomy
day. The snow fall, clear the sidewalks and the entry
way for all the old folks, the bums, and the hustlers,
and the road kids. I can�t stand the sight of any of
�em. I wish I could sell this place. I wish I could buy
a boat and just float away.
All these old ladies comin� in here buyin� cheap wine
ain�t no better than all these bums comin� in here and
buy cheap wine. I know I ain�t got it so bad, I can go
home at night and sometimes sleep. Quit drinkin� when I
wanna, no one here to bother me. There�s no one here to
bother me, so I keep the liquor store open past curfew
some nights, so I don�t have to go home. All these old
ladies comin� in here buyin� cheap wine ain�t no better
than all these bums comin� in here and buy cheap wine.
I never meant to do anything wrong, do any harm, or
frame that kid who wasn�t so bright and drunk all the
time. Anyway, they killed him, not me. I�ve got a
business to run. I�ve got property here, he had
nothing.
All these old ladies comin� in here buyin� cheap wine
ain�t no better than all these bums comin� in here and
buy cheap wine. But I�m better than all this, crazy
derelicts can go to hell. I�m better than this. I make
my own way. Sometimes I can sleep at night.
I open the store an hour before daybreak and I put all
the labels facing out. I�m tired of all these labels,
why don�t they all say it�cheap wine�cheap wine.
All these old ladies comin� in here buyin� cheap wine
ain�t no better than all these bums comin� in here and
buy cheap wine. Leanin� against the counter on a gloomy
day. Snow falling, clear the sidewalk and the entry
way.
