Shakey Graves – Halloween lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well, I know where you're going tonight
Can I be there when you arrive?
I know a shortcut through the woods
Could be living here for the rest of my life

[Chorus:]
Yeah, down at the local liquor store
I got friends on every aisle
Swerving from side-to-side
Like I'm running from a goddamn crocodile
We both know it's sink or swim
But you'll be floating here for more than a while

[Verse 2]
You know where I'm going today
Don't condemn me if I don't stay
Never could leave this town
The city limits sign keeps me right in my cage

[Chorus:]
Down at the local liquor store
I got friends on every aisle
Swerving from side-to-side
Like I'm running from a goddamn crocodile
We both know it's sink or swim
But you'll be floating here for more than a while (more than a while)

[Verse 3]
You know where I'm going tonight
Come on, baby, don't put up a fight
If you wanna know how it goes inside
Come on, baby, just pick up the knife

[Chorus:]
Down at the local liquor store
I got friends on every aisle
Swerving from side-to-side
Like I'm running from a goddamn crocodile
But we both know it's sink or swim
But you'll be floating here for more than a while (more than a while)

[Outro]
You know where I'm going tonight
Come on, baby, don't put up a fight
