Intro
Verse 1
Jamie Had A Shroom Shop At Main And 38
Figured He Could Make Some Dough But Started Way Too Late
Opened Up In Late July In The Middle Of The Fray
Then Bylaw Shut Him, Two Times In One Day
He Shared A Door With A Cash And Go With A Line By Friday Noon
If Things Were Any Better, They Might Sing A Different Tune
Jan Behind The Counter Won’t Look Them In The Eye
By The Time They Pay The Interest, There Won't Be Much To Buy
Chorus
At Main And 38, You Never Have To Wait
Grab Some Cash And Then Get High
You Can Always Trust In Fate
But Easy Money Don’t Come Cheap
It Will Haunt You In Your Sleep
At Main And 38, It Always Seems Too Late,
It Always Seems Too Late
Verse 2
Each Day They’d Have Coffee And Complain
Talk Of All That Happens That No One Can Explain
Everyone Needs An Easy Way To Get Them Through The Week
But Neither One Believed That Saying About The Weak
Bridge
There Were Cracks In The Pavement, Cracks In The Walls
Cracks In Places They’d Never Been Before
More And More People With Nothing Left To Lose
The Way They Made Their Money Was Becoming Front Page News
Verse 3
They Never Seemed To Know, Exactly What Comes Next
How To Stop The Train And Avoid The Constant Wrecks
Jamie Took Down His Sign And Jan Refused To Sign The Line
The Anger And Despair It Got To Them In Time
Chorus
At Main And 38, You Never Have To Wait
Grab Some Cash And Then Get High
You Can Always Trust In Fate
But Easy Money Don’t Come Cheap
It Will Haunt You In Your Sleep
At Main And 38, It Always Seems Too Late,
It Always Seems Too Late
Verse 4
Now Jamie Works The Night Shift At A Five And Dime
May Not Make Much Money But That’s Okay This Time
Jan Is Back Home Just Outside Dwight
No Longer Needs To Worry About What She Sees At Night
Chorus
At Main And 38, You Never Have To Wait
Grab Some Cash And Then Get High
You Can Always Trust In Fate
But Easy Money Don’t Come Cheap
It Will Haunt You In Your Sleep
At Main And 38, It Always Seems Too Late,
It Always Seems Too Late
