Song 11 on Be Good LP by Patrick Porter C. 2019, bring yr own bathos publishing
lyrics
Twin Liquors
Twin Liquors
My best friends in the burbs
Left on the corner
Right on the street
Palm trees spark shadows
On the concrete
Walk past the church
And auto parts store
Corner of Congress
To buy some more
Twin Liquors
The best place in the burbs
12 pack of Lone Star
Pint of Jim Beam
Handful of shooters
Cheap Irish Cream
Bud Light Clamato
2 Tallboy cans
I don’t want a receipt
I do want a bag
Gonna drink the midnight dry!
Gonna spin the old wet fly!
Soldiers are in fine supply!
And what’ll ya have?
I’ll have a laugh!
And what’ll ya have?
I’ll have a cry
And what’ll ya have?
I’ll have a laugh!
And what’ll ya have?
ALONE TIME!
Twin Liquors
My best friends in the burbs
Twin Liquors
My best friends in the burbs
Sack in the backpack
“Have a good day!”
Hold the door open
In the doorway
Half a walk home
Did the day’s chore
A hot Texas mile
To buy some more
Gonna drink the midnight dry!
Gonna spin the old wet fly!
Soldiers are in fine supply!
NELSON!!!!!!
And what’ll ya have?
I’ll have a laugh!
And what’ll ya have
I’ll have a cry
And what’ll ya have?
I’ll have a laugh!
And what’ll ya have?
ALONE TIME!
