Scratchers

Lyrics

A guy walks into the liquor store With his new paycheck. What for? To buy some scratchers I'msobusy working atthis liquor store Ask him what he'scome in here for He gives me the news He says he wants seven greens and three blues I watch him raise his last time Into the air Scratching like he just doesn't care And then I saw those tickets later that night Soggy with dew Right outside the bar where he went to follow you Once, twice, three times even Like a familiar wind That blew right through A girl and her dad Go to the grocery store It's almost Halloween They try to stick a mess of the twenties Into the pumpkin carving machine And then they choose from one of four faces on the screen When they got the pumpkin home Its face looked so mean
