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, breathing hard

Now, in just one year's time

I've become jealous, rail-thin

Prone to paranoia when I'm stoned

If this isn't true love, someone oughta put me in a home

Say, do you wanna get married

And put an end to our endless regressive 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 until 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?"
