Jerry: @onefortheroad I'm guessing it's because 'she' wears boots and spits to-bac-ie. You know, the type of woman (excluding, of course your lovey wife who doesn't know this side of your major dark side)! It's good you've opened this up to us, because we already knew about this. Still, you managed to squeeze out a decent song cover. And I confess enjoying your performance!
