“I know you have a heavy heart, I can feel it when we kiss
So many men stronger than me
Have thrown their backs out trying to lift it
But me I'm not a gamble
You can count on me to split
The love I sell you in the evening by the morning won't exist.”

And then I go, "YEA! Yea, this is a good town. Smoke some crack and get a hooker! Alright!"”
