AL



Until someone came in through the window and walked off drinkin' from a pitcher of our iced tea... 
Having much of nothing never mattered to us ~ never mattered to me.
We think we know who did the deed ~ the one above with the endless need or Max's nephew that was hooked on speed.
Either one, the deed was done and well...

A souvenir from a favorite bar ~ the impala emblem from my first used car, besides our brand new VCR ~ not yet paid for, shoved in a suitcase ~ and out the door. 
Your black pearl pinkie ring and my worn out High School ring ~  the only things worth anything.

For you and me, we'd just begun and this portrait of you is from that time when you and me ~ we had a dime... and that was enough.
