Never could help myself. Gimme a bottle of whiskey and a deck of cards: I’ll play every hand. Travelled all over, but ain’t nothing compares to that place. You might know it; most folks do. Ain’t no temptation there I didn’t enjoy…
Until what happened with that piece of trouble in red lipstick. I swear, it didn’t go down the way they reported it!
