what the hell at least this time I knew why she was mad
I had no idea what the future had in store for me that night
but like every night in the poolhall it would go on unscripted
the poolhall was like a amusement park
you never knew what you'd see
it was also like the colorado weather
things could and often did change in fifteen minutes
you could just about tell how rowdy friday night was going to be
by the volume blaring out of the jukebox with anything coming out of it from waylon jennings to jethro tull
you had the cowboys , loggers , hardrock miners ,pool hustlers and anything in between
and of course there was me who never just fit in any one niche
I was just there and you can't say you've been there till you been there kind of like a passage of rites to old to be a kid anymore to young to be called a adult But by god we could drink the hell out of 3.2 BEER !
chace girls or fight
I'd get a rush from the pain just because I was still alive to feel it
but you would never know unless I revealed it
but in smallville usa anywhere
you can't hide anything very long before the whole town knew it
used to laugh at some of the parents I'd hear talking
well we might be a small town but at least there's no drugs here
guess they'ed never smelled the air outside the back door or the bathrooms you could get a contact high just walking by
like I said I had no idea what the future had in store for me that night
but I was there to see if the barmaid was still mad at me I had a full tank of gas in the old truck and road trip on my mind
now that girl could pour a glass or pitcher of beer and not have but maybe a quarter inch of foam on it
if that !
my beer was half filled with foam ....... Yep she's still mad !
no road trip for awhile
now as anyone who knew me knows I could go from zero to trouble in about 2.5 maybe faster if I was bored
strangers were rare but there was always one or two who'd show up from who the hell knew ?
and yeah we didn't think we had enough girls to share
sure as hell one was doing his best to sweet talk the one that was mad at me . well I knew for a fact she wasn't going to fall for all his crap but she was punishing me for whatever it was I'd done
the sad part was I didn't know what she was mad about this time ?
She's letting him run his mouth knowing I was not liking it one bit
now as anyone who's ever been there can tell you
Accidents occasionally happen anything from slipping on the floor and leaving teeth marks in the cue rack ,to falling off your barstool busting open your forehead on the bar
now I swear I didn't intentionally push him of his barstool
and just because I had a hold of his long hair didn't mean anything more than I was just trying to help him up ?
but do you think she'd believe Me ...... Oh hell no !
Y'all remember what eighty sixed meant ?
I had no idea what the future had in store for me that night
but I damn sure wasn't thinking about a road trip by myself
but what the hell at least this time I knew why she was mad
