There’s a gas station/convenient mart
Running a sale on Coors Light beer
A shabby ma & pa car lot
Advertising buy here pay here
In the strip mall on the corner
There’s only Ace pawn shop and video store
Get your “Title Loans” up the way
Or cash advance on your next pay
In a winter coat and baggy brown pants
And old man walks up the street
Garbage bag over his shoulder
He must be boiling in this July heat
And old cap sets above weary eyes
Scrounges change for order of fries
Looks for a place to get in the shade
To sip on a small cup of lemonade
Here on the west end
Not much worth saving anymore
Here on the west end
Just a ghost of what was before
Left like a used-up lover
For a pretty new girlfriend
Here on the west end
A young girl with greasy brown hair pulled back
Leans in to a red Corvette
Out behind the laundry mat
In her short shirt and cut off sweats
Showing a pale doe boy belly
And a tattoo on her lower back
She takes something from the driver’s hand
Opens the door and climbs in
Here on the west end
Not much worth saving anymore
Here on the west end
Just a ghost of what was before
Left like a used-up lover
For a pretty new girlfriend
Here on the west end
