Less of this and more rock n' roll

Well, at least he doesn't have a restraining order to prevent coming within 100 yards of her like I do!  |

I wish we all had the guts to be so honest. I love this song. Hey, I had 19 years of bad love. I woke up and moved on. Best thing I ever did. It wasn't so gutsy for me to throw that out there. Don't give her so much credit. Plenty of songwriters out there leaving her in the dust. |

If I said, ''I skinned a snake in Dixie'' does it mean I really removed the scales from a limbless reptile?
Or could it be that I masturbated in Meridien? As I have an uncut member, in this usage, it would be a metaphorskin.
Thanks for sharing. |

How so ThePoose? Fits well with somebody who experiments with LSD and then "matures" out of it. Funny, a few listens later and I think I'm starting to enjoy this song. hehe Here is an alternate interpretation then, since you ask. The term ''acid tongue'' is used to describe someone who is verbally nasty. So she could have gone down South and acted spitefully with various people, but eventually grew out of that dead-end behavior. |

 I agree. I wonder if Shelly Long was like, really mean to her on the set of Troop Beverly Hills? She was a child actress... |
