I wish I could find the lyrics for this.

[NightOfTha44]

@mudkipsie --- Now if you're ever on 4th street, I tell ya what to do / Let me feel you out and get 'quainted with you / Well you won't have to go / You can get what you want a right cher in my liquor store / You got a lil whiskey, got a lil gin / All you have to do is step in the back end / well you won't have to go / You can get what you want right here in my liquor sto /

[NightOfTha44]

@mudkipsie --- I met Mr. Peters down on Monroe St / Come to 4th street and ride around with me / well you won't have to go / you can get whatcha want right here in my liquor store / you got some on the floor, you got some on the shelf / all you got to do is just a help yourself / well you won't have to go / you can get what you want right here in my liquo sto

[NightOfTha44]

@NightOfTha44 ---- Mr Peter Adams is a this kinda mane / you ask him for a favor, you won't have to be shamed / well you won't have to go / you can get what you want a right here in my liquor store

[NightOfTha44]

@mudkipsie - Just my interpretation, but pretty accurate save for Mr. Peter I guess is his first name and some "got vs. haves"

I'm from Brownsville Tn and love Sleepy John Este. I went to school with his grandkids. This man is awesome!

Something from the past I still can hear it echo down some halls. Do you hear it there?
