lyrics

Shopping Cart Man (Wake)

I got a broken down dog and shopping cart
two pair of shoes and a deck of cards
a pocket knife and a can of mace
and if I gotta hide I gotta hidin’ place
The dog don’t bark but he knows how to growl
Ain’t no one to bark at anyhow.

Couple months back I even had me a girl
She and I were gonna conquer the world
She took off looking for the secret to life
Sent me a postcard from paradise
She said she was working in a grocery store
Didn’t mention if she found what she was lookin’ for.

Me and the girl were never really gonna hit it off
An earth mother child and an old alcoholic
She was too young to know how brutal life can be
But was smart enough to know that she was smarter than me
Smart enough at any rate to get out of town
Hanging with me was only gonna bring her down

I got a broken down dog and shopping cart
two pair of shoes and a deck of cards
a pocket knife and a can of mace
and if I gotta hide I gotta hidin’ place
The dog don’t bark but he knows how to growl
Ain’t no one to bark at anyhow.

It is music that swings, drives, bumps and grinds, moans and groans, screams and shouts, and then steps back and turns introspective, plaintive, or nostalgic. ... more
