The liquor store came first
And drove my baby from my arms
It was all a game that led me down that road
The liquor store came first
The liquor store came first
And poured my money down the drain
It was all a game that led me down that road
The liquor store came first
Chorus:
I know where to find my booze when I need some
Down at the dark end of the street
(Verse 1)
(Chorus)
(Verse 1)
