and bull-strong.

distance.

grudge.
* You cannot unsay a cruel word.

never gonna happen anyway.

older and think back, you'll enjoy it a second time.
* Don't interfere with somethin' that ain't
botherin' you none.

rain dance.

* Good judgment comes from experience, and a
lotta that comes from bad judgment.
