I Went to the Store One Day

Lyrics

[Verse 1] We met in a parking lot I was buying coffee and cigarettes Firewood and bad wine long since gone But I'm still drunk and hot Wide awake and breathing hard Now, in just one year's time, I've become jealous Rail-thin, prone to paranoia when I'm stoned If this isn't true love, someone oughta put me in a home Say, do you wanna get married? And put an end to our endless progressive tendency to scorn Provincial concepts like your dowry and your Daddy's farm For love to find us of all people I never thought it'd be so simple [Instrumental Break] [Verse 2] Let's buy a plantation house and let the yard grow wild Until we don't need the signs that say, "Keep out" I've got some money left and it's cheaper in the South I need someone I can trust To protect me from our seven daughters when my body says "enough" Don't let me die in a hospital I'll save the big one for the last time we make love Insert here A sentiment re: our golden years All 'cause I went to the store one day "I've seen you around, what's your name?"
