You're born into this life paying for the sins of somebody else's past.
Hey, little dolly with the blue jeans on, I want to ramrod with you, honey, 'til half past dawn.
In the past, some of the songs that were the most fun, and the most entertaining and rocking, fell by the wayside because I was concerned with what I was going to say and how I was going to say it.
