flashback .. before i'd left louisiana
a year back .. i'd been dating terrie
she and I had dated for a year and a half
i'd dated others during this time period also
even was living with wild, nympho mary
graduated high school .. the world was mine
soon after .. i'd gotten very drunk
something I rarely ever did
just so happened terrie was over
during our passionate lovemaking
it was time to pull away
surprisingly, she held me down
I became upset because I was drunk
sure enough several months later
she began to show .. no doubt, pregnant
i'd been being the bastard I was raised to be
purchased a motorcycle .. trying to keep up
it wasn't easy seeing five girlfriends every day
in my mind .. the motorcycle would help me
after that fateful night with secretive terrie
it didn't take long for her stomach to grow
she and I didn't love one another
yet we'd a baby on the way
I reckon news had spread
about me dating other women
for she had uncles who showed up
threatening to harm .. kill me
if I ever treated her wrong
i'd pondered .. oh perfect
things I get myself into
terrie's mom threatened me too
said if I wouldn't marry her daughter
she'd have her relative .. judge hightower
put me in prison for statutory rape
I related to her I never raped terrie
I asked terrie about her mom's intentions
she said her mom was forcing her
to testify in court that i'd raped her
if I refused to get married
God knows .. come hell or high water
