But do you really think a single
man is better off than a married man?
D
Well, is a wild horse who's got the whole prairie to
D
gallop around on better off than a horse who's pulling a wagon?
D
There comes a time in the life of every man when he
must decide between galloping and getting hitched
Personally,
I cotton to the double harness myself
Discuss this thing musically, let's go
