Boom. Two Hearts. Chuck Berry,
Jimmy Reed. "I walk 47 miles
of barb wire. I use a cobra snake

for a neck tie. I got a bran/new house
by the road side, made from
rattle snake hide." Oh you really

really send me, baby, you
got to go for me or I'll
beat yo ass. who

hearts." long long &
lonely nights. for your
