Close Up Shop Lyrics

There’s a place to cash your checks

And a pile of Debris

Where doc’s mechanic shop use to be

That old family sign

Is covered and growing rust

There’s at least 1000 more engines

Those tools could have touched

When I think of how it sold

Bought out by corporate gold

I can’t help, but get a little mad

Cause if grandpa was here today

I know just what he’d say

You can’t just close up shop and walk away

He ran it through the depression

He ran it through the war

From 6 am to nightfall sometimes more

He almost lost the deed

He almost lost his mind

But, he wasn’t going to let some

Old bully undercut his pride

When I think of how it sold

Bought out by corporate gold

I can’t help, but get a little mad

Cause if grandpa was here today

I know just what he’d say

You can’t just close up shop and walk away

When you think they got you sold

Bought out by corporate gold

Don’t you worry we got your back

We are standing here today

This is what we say

We ant going to close up shop

We never going to close up shop

You can’t just close up shop and

Walk Away

Walk Away

Don’t you walk away
