DOLLAR STORE

I see the sun hit the houses on the hilltops
But it’s still dark where I’m walking to
Spent too many nights sleeping in my car
Might not get far but I’ll get through

Hard cider, drink it at a stop light
I wanna own this night just like the rich kids do
Can’t beat the line so we take our time
And we slip away up to the roof
Sit under lights from bars
And we pretend they’re stars
But I won’t make a wish—No I’ll wish on you

I see a cutie working at the dollar store
They seem real high & I wanna get stoned
We both ditch working for the afternoon
I get high then low but hey I’m not alone

Can’t stand the sun because it’s too bright
I wanna own the night just like the rich kids do
I’m craving fun, don’t wanna be the one
Who hides, too afraid to go cut loose
The streets clear
Of college kids drunk on cheap beer
I wish I was them but it won’t come true
