a normal tuesday
he asked for a shot
with his beer
another fight?
i asked him
yeah
he said
last night
he said
what did you do?
i asked
nothing, man
i never do anything
he said
he ordered another shot
and i ordered another beer
so what happened?
i asked
she was just in a mood,
always in a mood
what did you do?
nothing, man
i went to the bar
i came here
and then what?
i asked
he took his shot
and put up another finger
that girl Lucy was here
and she was blowing it up
she was making me feel worse
but she wanted me, man
she wanted it
what did you do?
you know what i did, man
you know what i did
i took her in my car
i took all of her
she was good
how is the wife today?
i asked
she’s good
she’s good
she loves me again
