(A lone voice speaks)
Eighteen
With no Plan B
I met Annalise
Marylou Brown
In downtown
Los Angeles
When I ran headfirst into love
In O'Raffertys
Who I thought would be
The first and only love of my life
After joining the Navy
And serving at sea
While on leave
And then she owned me
Sent and spent all my money
On her
Bought a big old farm in Texas
Big car
Then she left me
After 7 years
Taking the house
The car
Even took Betty Boo
Our famous cow
But like my brother
Straus says
Those that play away
Those that do as the Devil says
Those that love a taste of the Devils cake
Will never be happy
Buy another house and a new cow
Announce to your old spouse
You're happy for them
And watch them
Ask to return
Again
Then tell them it's too late
For you've too
Met someone else
So maybe
All this was fate
Me and Annabella
Are just going on a date
