"The Lonely Little Thrift Store" lyrics

"The Lonely Little Thrift Store"

By the sidewalk there with the cracks in it
With the Mexican restaurant next to it
With the clothes for the big and the fat in it
And the moth-ball smell to the hats in it

Is the lonely little thrift store
The hard luck little thrift store where I go

Well, its and old store front from the 30's
And it gives you a feel of the old days
And the next door barber shop
Where famous athletes used to stop

But now this neighborhood is down
And there's garbage on the ground
By the lonely little thrift store
The hard luck little thrift store where I go
Well, alright

Well, the avocado green appliances
With the smell of domestic violences
And the dusty [?] wear
And the rusty dinette chair

In the lonely little thrift store
The hard luck little thrift store where I go

Yeah

The record by the hundred one strings
And other lonely little things
See how that popcorn popper looks sad
'Cause of the short little life it's had

Once it was a happy wedding gift
But when they split it too got left
In the lonely little thrift store
The hard luck little thrift store where I go
