Lyrics

[Verse 1]
All these old ladies
Come in here and buy cheap wine
Ain't no better than all these bums
Come in here and buy cheap wine
[Verse 2]
Leanin' against the counter on a gloomy day
The snow falling, clear the sidewalks and the entryway
For all the old folks, the bums and the hustlers and the rude 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
[Verse 3]
All these old ladies
Come in here and buy cheap wine
Ain't no better than all these bums
Come in here and buy cheap wine
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
All these old ladies
Come in here and buy cheap wine
Ain't no better than all these bums
Come in here and buy cheap wine
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
All these old ladies
Come in here and buy cheap wine
Ain't no better than all these bums
Come in here and buy cheap wine
[Verse 8]
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
[Verse 9]
I open the store an hour before daybreak
And I put all the labels facin' out
I'm so tired of all these labels
Why don't they say it? Cheap wine
Cheap wine
[Verse 10]
All these old ladies
Come in here and buy cheap wine
Ain't no better than all these bums
Come in here and buy cheap wine
[Verse 11]
Leanin' against the counter on a gloomy day
Snow fallin', clear the sidewalks and the entryway
