Dollar General Lyrics – American Aquarium

Dollar General Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Leaving here was easy coming back was tough
Until I saw this town I thought I’d had it rough
Rode real hard and put away wet
Still don’t think we’ve seen the worst of it yet
Yeah the factory shut down back in ‘93
Now this town’s just a shell of what it used to be
Damn gas has jumped back up to $3.05
How are folks like me supposed to survive?

[Chorus]
When even the Dollar General’s closing down
We’d fix it if we could but we don’t know how
Can’t put concrete in a casket, if they could they’d bury this town
‘Cause even the Dollar General’s closing down

[Verse 2]
See that usеd to be the movies, now it’s just a sign
“For Salе” with a number ‘tween the marquee lights
Another vape shop going next to the IGA
Another modern day Main Street USA

[Chorus]
‘Cause even the Dollar General’s closing down
We’d fix it if we could but we don’t know how
Can’t put concrete in a casket, if you could they’d bury this town
‘Cause even the Dollar General’s closing down

[Verse 3]
Greatest trick ever played was taking our voice
And giving us two sides in the illusion of choice
It ain’t left versus right, it’s bottom versus top
Until we figure it out this ain’t gonna stop
Until we figure it out this ain’t gonna stop
Until we figure it out this ain’t gonna stop

[Chorus]
‘Cause even the Dollar General’s closing down
We’d fix it if we could but we don’t know how
Can’t put concrete in a casket, if you could they’d bury this town
‘Cause even the Dollar General’s closing down
‘Cause even the Dollar General’s closing down
