First Single Released in anticipation of the album Bric​-​á​-​Brac (ericbettencourt.bandcamp.com/album/bric-brac)

lyrics

The General Store

They've got furniture and ammo, candy and flannel
There's 34 people in this town and they all love guns
Lawnmower gears and sandals, coffee brandy handles
There ain't much holding them together but work and fun

In the middle of the woods you find a general store
Selling everything that you could ever ask for

They sell dirty magazines, cigarettes and bedsheets
There's 34 people left and they all have needs
There's brands of food you've never heard of, greeting cards to send love
Everybody here misses somebody that had to leave

In the middle of the woods you find a general store
You can buy the fish or you can buy the fishing lure
You can find anything you want at the general store
If you know to ask they know how to score at the general store

Brutal honesty, twisted humor, gossip-mill spinning rumors
Around the lunch counter and it's aways the same old fools
They got Band-Aids and bug spray; jumper cable and shoelace
Even they can look around the place and see something new

Out in the middle of the woods you find a general store
You can buy the tire or you can buy the whole damn car
You can find anything you want at the general store
If you know to ask they know how to score at the general store

Under a mountain of bric-à-brac is a TV with a fat back
They sold you almost everything you own

And before you buy the buy the farm they're gonna sell you the stone
Before you buy the buy the farm they're gonna sell you the stone
Before you buy the buy the farm they're gonna sell you the stone

At the general store
