by Kitty Boots
Ain't no use goin' to titty bars. Ya cain't touch em. If you do you, you get arrested.
But, you can have a lap dance.
You like Conway Twitty? This was my moms' tape. I put it on my phone so I could play it in the truck.
Haven't had a drink since '96.
Aww, don't get cranky.
You're old and skinny, it's chilly.
Lay you down and softly whisper pretty love words in your ear
Lay you down and whisper all the pretty things a woman loves to hear
I'll let you know how much it means just having you around
Oh darlin' how I'd love to lay you down
rescued a turtle he was still wet, I put him on the other side of the road
an injured crow
hey, buddy, you okay?
wrapped in a towel, given water
taken to the wildlife rehab officer
died 2 days later
your heart ain't in it
