Parting Shots

a couple......from my younger daze Deep in the Ice House On Loop Twenty Four South He motions......... To fill....his shot glass Meanwhile at the Eagle's Nest On old Sixty Nine west She's shooting........... Tequila down fast They're getting....Their parting shots in They said it was over, but they won't let it end Round after round.......Nobody wins They're getting..... their parting shots in He tells an old friend Who happened to drop in She is the devil In disguise.... She tells a stranger That he tried to blame her But she says.... The truth is...he lied They're getting their parting shots in....... PROTECTED BY COPYRIGHT LAW
