lyrics

Liquor Store Boxes (Darin Barney)

The story’s too long
So here’s a synopsis:
It ended in fisticuffs
And liquor store boxes
And permanent markers
For writing their names on the side

They met at a roadhouse
Where he was a regular
She ordered a Ballantine’s
And went for the jugular
And it was a gusher
Look, there’s the stain on the floor

It always ends in liquor store boxes
Worn out cassettes and absent comrades
It ends in broken sofas on sidewalks
Liquor store boxes and classified ads

It might’ve been Christmas
Or maybe Thanksgiving
When she popped the question
About making a living
And darkness descended
Like somebody shot out the lights

It was a cluster bomb
A suicide mission
A chemical accident
Head-on collision
And all the King’s horses
Looked at the pieces and ran

That was a plough-wind
It wasn’t a twister
And no one remembers
If he even kissed her
But she came up swinging
Swung herself right out the door

His name was Ricky
That’s short for Ricochet
Her name was Polly
That’s short for gone away
Famous together
But that was a long time ago
