Didn'T Blink

I flat out nailed my first interview Young and dumb without a clue Then hired on the spot, no lying Nervousness was my only crime When suddenly his questions stopped Damn it man, our eyes locked I stood up in fear, my hand out Ready to go home and just pout His words were "your hired" "I like the way your wired" He shook my hand withe ease Then we talked about the leads I then asked him for an advance Five hundred bucks, a slim chance So when I left that interview Holding five hundred buckaroo I felt I had conquered the world I drove home to kiss my girl Caught every single green light First time for everything, right?
