“I met this girl so fine…”
Shoving the lime wedge down the neck of her dark import, she rolled her eyes at his flirting, and the irony of the Lyle Lovett lyric.

“You cheated on me, then moved away to Texas.”

I have a few of Lyle’s songs but had heard this one. The peeling of the beer bottle reminds of the Sheryl Crow song, “All I Wanna Do”.
