1
Well, things always cost a little more
2
When you buy them at the Sweaburg Store
3
But the drive into town made it the same
4
So it didn't matter, anyway
5
You could wake him up if your tank was on empty
6
They wouldn't be happy, but they'd fill it up anyway
7
I guess that's just the way things go
8
The Sweaburg General Store is closed
9
Better fill 'er up on your way home
10
It's a sign of the times, I suppose
11
Up and down the concessions, everybody knows
12
The Sweaburg General Store is closed
13
Well. Town is a half an hour's drive
14
And you're lucky to get out of there alive
15
And then there's something you forgot
16
And then-a half the day is shot
17
And it oughta be a law
18
It oughta be a crime
19
That's what they're saying on the 19th Line
20
We took it for granted, how were we to know
21
The Sweaburg General Store is closed
22
Better fill 'er up on your way home
23
It's a sign of the times, I suppose
24
Up and down the concessions, everybody knows
25
The Sweaburg General Store is closed
26
Well Pa says it's been there for seventy years
27
And it used to be an outlet for Simpson-Sears
28
Ma said she bought her wedding dress there
29
And they threw in the flowers that she wore in her hair
30
They closed it once before back in '37
31
But they opened it again at the end of the Depression
32
I guess these times are just like those
33
The Sweaburg General Store is closed
34
Better fill 'er up on your way home
35
It's a sign of the times, I suppose
36
Up and down the concessions, everybody knows
37
The Sweaburg General Store is closed
38
The Sweaburg General Store is closed
39
Better fill 'er up on your way home
40
Up and down the concessions, everybody knows
41
The Sweaburg General (thought it would never)
42
The Sweaburg General Store is closed
