Drugstores

by Zach Jones

Old-fashioned drugstore

I miss those Marlboro memories,  
Smoking, watching silver screens.  
Call me from a phone booth late at night. 

Scratches on my LP helped me sleep.  

Beat boys jumping trains, 
Bumming for a bed. 
Now drugstores are disappearing,  
Drugstores are dead.  

Give me back records,  
Give me cassettes.  
Drugstores are disappearing,  
Drugstores are dead.  

I miss real life,  
I miss the truth 
and politician’s bullet wounds. 

Drug stores are disappearing. 

Drugstores are dead.
