Well if you wanna go down that line pretty apparent to me where I got the idea to write kinda based on Wino there He to Paris, [?] at 40, 12 old men African and the list goes on

one, let me get this out And as you might guess, this one needs a story too To you where this song came from said you can't ever go home? Sometimes you to go home even of you don't to That's a little I learnt around this time
