I was living in this flop house above a **** shop in Amarillo. I had a one eyed cat named Walter, I'd bet a sawbuck that when I slept, he drank my whiskey. I sill love him though. He stuck around longer than those old painted up ladies that strolled through, and tested my bed springs. I got two shots of Wild Irish Rose left, then it's back to these ***** streets of broken dreams and sick scenes.

Me and Walter
I was living in this flop house above a **** shop in Amarillo. I had a one eyed cat named Walter, I'd bet a sawbuck that when I slept, he drank my whiskey. I sill love him though. He stuck around longer than those old painted up ladies that strolled through, and tested my bed springs. I got two shots of Wild Irish Rose left, then it's back to these ***** streets of broken dreams and sick scenes.
