Love me TENder

What's a guy like you doing in a place like this?

sawdust floor
leather vests and chaps
dead animals on the wall
stale beer smell
Johnny Cougar on the jukebox
the room is hungover from the night before

My old friend
haven't seen you in a while
same bright smile
falling inside your kind eyes
big bear hugs

I go outside to say goodbye
only to see you riding away
hog between your legs
wind at your back
happy smile on your face

Back inside
my mom is there
she hands me a shiny dime
in the shape of a heart
Isn't that interesting?
she says
