In the mid to late '80s we got our first video store in my hometown
A locally owned home video rental store in my hometown
It was the mid to late 1980s
In my hometown
The smell and the feeling of video stores on Friday nights in your hometown
Walking through the anti-shoplifting device in your hometown
Seeing half the town
Familiar faces, new releases, sign the wait list
Waiting for a copy of Uncle Buck to come back in your hometown
You peek into the adult section of the video store in your hometown
I noticed the video boxes getting smaller over the years in my hometown
'Til it seemed liked the boxes were inside the movies in my hometown
Two beta tapes strapped together by a rubberband in my hometown
A sunset in the palm of your hand
It's as big as memory
Tequila Sunrise in my hometown
They had a going out of business sale at the video store in my hometown
Rolls of free used movie posters in a bin in my hometown
10 plastic DVD cases for a quarter in my hometown
There's an out of service popcorn machine
There's an empty "Coming Soon" marquee
At the last video store in my hometown
When I visited home
There was a Savings and Loan where it used to be
I'd pay off every late fee
For one more chance to take home an analog dream
You can't hold a stream in your hand
Evil Dead II, they had it
Temple of Doom, they had it
Bloodsport, they had it
Nightmare On Elm Street 4, they had it
Garbage Pail Kids the Movie they had it
The My Pet Monster Movie they had
Ninja Gaiden 2, they had it
Duck Hunt, they had it
Duck Hunt you already had it
Best of the Best they had it
The Mad Balls Movie they had it
GI Joe the Movie they had it
Re-Animator 2 they had it
Home Alone 2 they had it
Big Top Pee-Wee they had it
Freejack they had it
Night Moves they had it
