BOOM!! Finally!!
I stumbled off the bus in Memphis and summoned my barkeep I ordered up a tequila, some salt and a lime And she said, "Son, you ain't from around here, is ya?" And I said politely, "No, no ma'am, I ain't." She said, "Sonny, let me give you a little bit of friendly Southern advice, We don't use that junk around here for nothing 'cept, well, maybe thinning out paint."
And she said, "Son, why don't you take a look around and tell me what you see." Well, I saw a lot of white-felt Stetson hats and gatorskin boots You know, and every Southernmanwhohad a lady on his arm was drinking whiskey.
So I said, "I do not wish to be out of order, ma'am. I am not a tramp or a bum. The dusty Mexican borderlands are where I havejust come from, And with all due respect and deference, tequila is my preference.
