First new one from me in a long time.

Time for a little humor. I had my wisdom teeth pulled last year, and the pain was debilitating. When I got the right pain meds, I felt so much better that I wrote this song. Colin added his considerable vocal talents and his harmonica and brought…
Reg is broken hearted again the women are leaving through the revolving door so fast, that he doesn't really remember their names he just feels the loss the poor mans head is in such a mess........
