Backbreaker! (copyright 1991)

I met her at the docks-she was a deadly pretty gal
She said someone was after her-and that they'd killed her pal
She needed a shoulder to cry on-so I offered one of mine
Unknowing
She was six foot one-a very healthy dame
I really can't recall-if I ever got her name
The last thing I remember-she had a hold of me
I couldn't shake her.
People come and go,
	but what do all those people know? Backbreaker!
When I finally regained consciousness
	she was nowhere near the scene
She'd got my gun and wallet-then she'd got away clean
She left me lying prostrate-in a puddle of my own ooze
Uncaring
When I finally caught up with her-she created quite a scene
I plucked her from her boyfriend-
	who looked a lot like ÒMr. CleanÓ
But when I'd finally tamed that mustang
	I realized to my surprise
I couldn't take her
Women come and go,
but they don't show me anything
	I already didn't know. Backbreaker!
