  • Livin' it up
    You can have it all
    Pull more women than any two men or train can haul
    But my baby, she does something
    Way more impressive than the Georgia Crawl
    She blackens pages like a Russian romantic
    And gets down more often than a blowup doll

    Why the long face, Blondie?
    I'm already taken
    Sorry
    I may act like a lunatic
    But if you think I'm fucking crazy
    You're mistaken
    Keep moving

    On the road again
    For months at a time
    Doesn't take half that long for men about town to forget what's mine
    Now my genius can't drink in silence
    She's gotta listen to your tired-ass lines
    I know it's hard to believe the good-hearted woman
    Could have a body that'd make your daddy cry

    Why the long face, jerkoff?
    Your chance has been taken
    Good one
    You may think like an animal
    But if you try that cat-and-mouse shit
    You'll get bitten
    Keep movin', oh Writer/s: Joshua Michael Tillman
