    • And I'm a-waiting on the twelve-oh-five hoping it'll take me just a little farther down the line
  • 2 years ago...
    • Two steppin' on the table, she don't need a dancefloor, oh my, good Lord
  • 3 years ago...
    • Leanin to the side but you can't speed through two miles an hour so everybody sees you
  • 4 years ago...
