I Went to the Store One Day

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 And now in just one years time I've become jealous, rail thin Prone to paranoia when I'm stoned This isn't true love, someone oughta put me in a home Say, do you want to 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 Let's buy a plantation house And let the yard grow wild 'Til 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 "Seen you around, what's your name?"
