I remember waking up drunk
george straight singing on t.v.
wobbled .. made it to my feet
stumbled out the front door
she'd needed a shoulder to cry on
the very last thing I needed
was her jealous lesbian lover
coming hard and fast after me
crunching through the gravel
I found my car intact
fell in the driver's seat
fumbled for my keys
started the engine
foot on the floorboard
I was in a rush to leave
more memory returned
a lady from colorado
had approached me too
when I was leaving behind
the one year dance club scene
gave me her phone number
asked for me to call her
when i'm not on a date
even related i'd be welcome
to come and live in colorado
i'd taken all .. everything in
even though I was dog drunk
wasted .. the crazy night before
monday morning rolled around
I barely made it to work on time
warranty clerk discovered
i'd been discreetly
seeing her daughter
first thing .. I was called
to come to her office
madder than hell .. spitting fire
screaming she'll have me arrested
seems her daughter was seventeen
she'd lied to me about her age
in no time I was on I-20 West
