Hardware Store

Nothin' ever (ever) happens in this town
 Feelin' low down (down), not a lot to do around here
 I thought that I would go right out of my mind
 Until a friend told me the news
 He said, "Hey, you know that vacant lot
 Right beside the gas station? Well, somebody bought it
 And on that spot they're gonna build a shop
 Where we can go buy bolts and screws"
 Since then I've been walking on air (air)
 I can barely brush my teeth or comb my hair
 'Cause I'm so excited and I really don't care
 I've been waiting since last June
 For this day to finally arrive
 I'm so happy (happy) now just to be alive
 'Cause any minute now I'm gonna be inside
 Well, I hope they open soon
 I can't wait, (no I) I can't wait (oh when)
 When are they gonna open up that door?
 I'm goin' (yes I'm) goin', I'm a-goin' to the
 Goin' to the (hard) ware I'm goin', really goin' to the
 Goin' (hard) I'm goin' to the (hard) oh yes, I'm goin' to the

 In my sleeping bag I camped out overnight
 Right in front of the store, then as soon as it was light out
 I pressed my nose right up against the glass
 You know, I had to be first in line
 Gonna get me a flashlight and a broom
 Want a pair of pliers for every single room of my house
 See those hacksaws? Very, very soon
 One of them will be all mine
 Guys with nametags walking down the aisles
 Rows of garden hoses that go on for miles and miles
 Brand new socket wrenches in a plethora of styles
 All arranged alphabetically
 And they're doing a promotional stunt
 There's a great big purple sign out front
 That says every 27th customer
 Will get a ball peen hammer free
 I can't wait, (no I) I can't wait (oh when)
 When are they gonna open up that door?
 I'm goin' (yes I'm) goin', I'm a-goin' to the
