Giant Food Stores Blues

[Verse 1]
Clock hits five
I’m halfway gone
Shopping cart wobblin’
Fluorescent dawn
Line ‘round the corner
One open lane
All I wanted
Baby
Was to get home and game
[Chorus]
Got those Giant Food Stores blues
Stuck here payin’ my dues
My snacks in the basket
My soul in a queue
I just wanna game
But this store’s got me screwed
Yeah
I’m hummin’
Giant Food Stores blues
[Verse 2]
Price check again
Machine says “wait”
Kid kickin’ my ankle
Cold fries on my plate
Phone keep buzzin’
Friends online in a raid (oh yeah)
I’m trapped by coupons
While my evening fades
[Chorus]
Got those Giant Food Stores blues
Stuck here payin’ my dues
My drinks in the basket
My mind in a stew
I just wanna game
Not stand here and fume
Yeah
I’m singin’
Giant Food Stores blues
[Bridge]
Scan that barcode
Scan my will
One more minute
I’ll be here still
But when I hit that door
And see my room
I’ll trade this checkout hell
For a glowing afternoon (hey!)
[Chorus]
Got those Giant Food Stores blues
Stuck here payin’ my dues
My loot in the bags now
My heart pushin’ through
I just wanna game
That’s all I wanna do
Till then I’m walkin’
With these Giant Food Stores blues

Loose midtempo electric blues, male vocals; gritty tube amp guitar riff circling a simple 12-bar feel, brushed kit and lazy walking bass. Verses stay conversational and dry, hook jumps with a gang-vocal chant and call-and-response guitar fills. Small organ pad blooms in the second hook, last chorus tags the title line with big held notes and a playful turnaround., blues
