lyrics

When I was 8, my mother told me: “Son, don’t be late, I think it’s time. You can walk three and a quarter blocks to Sev”. So there I went. A bag of candy for 85 cents, I started thinking that maybe I should get a job so I can buy more candy at Sev

You were more than convenient to me
I was sometimes less than kind
so much like a convenience store you were always on my mind
you and Sev.

I remember them well: early mornings, we were under a spell of weed and whiskey that we stole from your folks, and mixed up with cokes, and drank on our way to Sev. The clerk he was kind though we were young and so out of our minds he pretended not to notice as we stumbled away; the chocolate we had stuffed in our parkas and forgot to pay for.

You were always open with me
I took you for granted sometimes
so much like that convenience store you were there for me every time

I remember the day when you doubled the price on candy
like you didn't care about me or my sweet tooth
looking back you know my hindsight it comes in handy
it was the day I lost the innocence of youth
that day at Sev

When i was 18, I left my home tried to find a new scene. I was so alone till I found at the end of my street, a Sev
but to my disdain the shelves were dusty, the slurpees were plain, the clerk was musty and intentionally rude. He didn't understand that down home prairie town Sev attitude

you were more than convenient for me
I took you for granted some times
It’s not the people that you need to know, its the people that you leave behind
and those that work at Sev
