Paper Bag Saint

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Brown paper bag in my left hand Corner store run, late shift, last chance Foam on the top, cold to the touch Two for the night, that ain't too much Cash in my pocket, lint and change I been out here moving through the rain You at the stoop, I slide you one We laugh real hard, then the world gets gone [Pre-Chorus] Pop that top, let it breathe Trouble waitin', but we don't leave Head tipped back, no big speech Just a little peace in a paper sleeve [Chorus] Forty in the bag, forty in the bag (One for me, one for you) Forty in the bag, forty in the bag (We don't need a better view) Sip slow, laugh loud Hold that corner, hold that crowd Forty in the bag, forty in the bag (Yeah, we made it through) [Verse 2] Bus stop bench and a busted tooth grin Kids on the block, we remember when Old screen door, chain still loose Same cheap bottle, same old truth Names get faded, faces stay Some folks leave, some folks stay I take a pull, you take one too For every bad week we made it through [Pre-Chorus] Pop that top, let it breathe Trouble waitin', but we don't leave Head tipped back, no big speech Just a little peace in a paper sleeve [Chorus] Forty in the bag, forty in the bag (One for me, one for you) Forty in the bag, forty in the bag (We don't need a better view) Sip slow, laugh loud Hold that corner, hold that crowd Forty in the bag, forty in the bag (Yeah, we made it through) [Bridge] When the night gets thin And the rent comes due We share that bottle Like we share the bruise One more round Then we call it done Stumblin' home But we ain't really gone [Chorus] Forty in the bag, forty in the bag (One for me, one for you) Forty in the bag, forty in the bag (We don't need a better view) Sip slow, laugh loud Hold that corner, hold that crowd Forty in the bag, forty in the bag (Yeah, we made it through)
