lyrics version 1
[Mark]
Bootleg Sam used to live 'cross town
Law took that whiskey man and they shut him down
An' they can't get the stuff no more
No you can't get that stuff no more
No matter how you try boy
Can't get that stuff no more
[Larry]
Yeah I know what you mean, exactly what you mean
I go to church, I wanna hear some preaching
I hear a lotta talking but I don't hear no teaching
You can't get good stuff
You cannot get good stuff no more
Well it's pretty hard, it breaks my heart
When I can't get that good stuff no more
[Mark]
Get on Main, take a right
Find that place man, let you go all night
Can't get the stuff no more
No you can't get that stuff no more
No matter how you try boy
Can't get that stuff no more
You can't get it

And all I really learned from it
