Corner Store |
| Well, I walked past just yesterday |
| And I couldn’t bare that new mall no more |
| I can’t expect you all to see it my way |
| But you may not know what was there before |
| And I want them to put back my old corner store |
| Well, I walked past just like I say |
| And I felt this hurt that would not go home |
| I can’t expect that you’re gonna see it my way |
| But you may not know the trees I’ve known |
| And I want them to put back my old corner store |
| I know it costs more money to shop there |
| But this was love, this was love |
| I know you had to pay more money |
| I’ll pay money, I’ll pay more |
| I don’t care what the mall has got |
| I want back that corner store |
| And what did I feel when I walked by slow? |
| Sorrow, sorrow, all around |
| Why I would feel sorrow I now know |
| I smell a ghost smell from the ground |
| That old wooden smell from the old corner store |
| Bam a nib a nib a nib way, oh |
| Bam a nib a nib a way, oh, web, oh |
| Bam a nib a nib a no, corner store, corner store |
| Bam a nib a nib a nib way oh |
| Bam a nib a nib a way oh web oh |
| Bam a nib a nib a no Corner store Corner store |
| I walked past one final time |
| And I wished the worst on the place I shop |
| Now I can’t expect everyone to feel like I am |
| But I spot a trend that has got to stop |
| And I want them to put back that old corner store |
