My thoughts always stray
To that one awful day
When I should have walked away...
It started with just one
Or maybe even two
But as the time passed
The count really grew
I should have just stopped
I should have said no
But instead I continued
And dished out the dough.
$20,$50,$100
I really didn't care
I took what I could
Or at least what I could bare
And for a few hours
The pain went away
But the after-effects
Are with me to stay.
Cuz I'll still have the memories
Of that one awful day
When I should have said no
And just walked away.
