Baby i've been here before

I used to live alone before i knew you

Good Looking Redhead .......
There was always something incongruous about them. .......... When i knew her my mother was a very good looking redhead in her early forties. My father was a sun-ravaged hard smoking, hard living guy. He looked significantly older at Sixty than i do now.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My dad would give me a twenty-dollar bill to go to the store. I'd steal the food and i'd bring him change for a Ten. I watched The Fugitive religiously on TV. If you've seen the original run of the series, it's all about sex and dislocated men and women. They drink Highballs, smoke cigarettes and sizzle for each other every Tuesday night at Ten.

How He Got Like That
The customer was middle aged and handsomely dressed and drunk. He wanted to talk and he couldn't have stopped even if he hadn't really wanted to talk. He was polite and friendly and when i heard him he didn't seem to slur his words much. But you knew that he got up on the bottle and only let go of it when he fell asleep at night. He would be like that for the rest of his life and that was what his life was. You would never know how he got like that because even if he told you it would not be the truth.

Big Fat Lies
As far as i'm concerned love means fighting, big fat lies, and slaps across the face.
