John Wesley Harding
There’s a Starbucks (Where the Starbucks Used to Be)
[Verse 1]
There's a freeway where we played football in the fields
Apartments on the pitch at Highbury
There's a shed called Deer Creek
Of which my one critique
Is there's no creek now and it's all deer-free
[Verse 2]
There's a Walgreens where there were no walls, just greenery
There's a theme park in a palace in Tennessee
That tree there is a pylon
But some things you can rely on
There's a Starbucks where thе Starbucks used to be
[Chorus]
Therе's a Starbucks where the Starbucks used to be
There's a Starbucks where the Starbucks used to be
There's a hard luck story everywhere you look
But oh the glory!
There's a Starbucks where the Starbucks used to be
[Verse 3]
There's a stadium where we used to drink at Freddie's
For a team that no one likes or wants or needs
They said they'd revitalize the place
Now there's a million parking spaces
Maybe bedrooms for the homeless refugees
[Verse 4]
There's a chain store where mom and pop once prospered
They're divorced now and they live in penury
Their kids grew up and moved away
I hear that happens anyways
There's a Starbucks where they live, I guarantee
[Chorus]
There's a Starbucks where the Starbucks used to be
There's a Starbucks where the Starbucks used to be
There's a hard luck story everywhere you look
But oh the glory!
There's a Starbucks where the Starbucks used to be
[Bridge]
And I miss the old Starbucks
But the new one's just the same
It's got coffee, CDs
It's even got the same name
You know, I wouldn't have even noticed
If you hadn't have told me
There's a Starbucks where the Starbucks used to be
[Chorus]
There's a Starbucks where the Starbucks used to be
There's a Starbucks where the Starbucks used to be
There's a hard luck story everywhere you look
But oh the glory!
There's a Starbucks where the Starbucks used to be
There's a Starbucks where the Starbucks used to be
There's a Starbucks where the Starbucks used to be
