Standing at this liquor store Whiskey coming through my pores Feeling like I run this whole block. Lotto tickets, cheap beer That's why you can catch me here Try'na scratch my way up to the top.
Cuz my job's got me going no where So I ain't got a thing to lose. Take me to a place where I don't care This is me, and my liquor store blues.
I'll take one shot for my pain One drag for my sorrow Get messed up today I'll be okay tomorrow
One shot for my pain One drag for my sorrow Get messed up today I'll be okay tomorrow
Me and my guitar tonight Singing to the city lights Try'na leave with more than what I got. Cuz 68 cent just ain't gonna pay the rent So I'll be out until they call the cops.
Cause my job got me going no where So I ain't got a thing to lose Take me to a place where I don't care This is me, and my liquor store blues
I'll take one shot for my pain
One drag for my sorrow Get messed up today I'll be okay tomorrow
One shot for my pain One drag for my sorrow Get messed up today I'll be okay tomorrow

Give me this one shot for my pain One drag for my sorrow Get messed up today I'll be okay tomorrow
One shot for my pain One drag for my sorrow Get messed up today I'll be okay tomorrow
