[00:00.98]Written by：Cameron Avery [00:01.34] [00:35.41]It was a Sunday a normal day at the track [00:39.28] [00:41.04]I'd hedged my bets and cashed my checks for the week [00:43.41] [00:46.00]I mean the track was wet so the dogs were running slow [00:48.39] [00:49.65]Plus the cold air made the starting gates jam [00:51.78] [00:53.50]But I did alright [00:54.28] [00:55.56]Other than that a normal day at the track [00:58.78] [01:02.19]Everyone had left except for one of the trainers [01:03.98] [01:05.66]Who'd lost nearly everything on his last dog [01:07.83]So he was drinking like a priest at the rapture [01:11.52] [01:17.09]Stacy was working [01:17.92] [01:20.82]She had just broken up with her boyfriend [01:22.73]Who'd skipped town with her car and her life's savings that morning [01:25.95]So she was on edge [01:26.94] [01:28.31]It took nothing more than for me to ask her how she was doing [01:31.51]And she flipped [01:32.51] [01:34.89]That was it [01:35.49] [01:40.63]She reached under the bar back and pulled out a big shiny 44 [01:43.67] [01:44.43]And pointed it straight at my head [01:45.73] [01:48.39]The startled and broken dog trainer to my left [01:50.85] [01:52.05]Welled up and then threw up all over my shoes [01:54.45] [01:55.93]And I just got those cleaned as well [01:57.46] [02:00.39]Stacy told me to give her my car my day's take [02:03.62] [02:04.36]Or she'd spray the back wall with my cerebellum [02:06.51] [02:11.57]At first I was rocked shocked and taken back [02:16.57]By her half-cocked locked and stocked 44 [02:19.05] [02:19.95]But then the strangest thing happened [02:21.49] [02:23.93]That look in her eye no fear no compromise [02:27.33] [02:28.73]Sent me on a spin I could've taken her right there and then [02:32.06] [02:35.22]She had me sweating that was for sure [02:36.62]But not from fear from lust [02:39.70] [02:45.43]I trusted her volition was in no condition to drive [02:48.59]So I said [02:49.74]Hold me hostage put the gun against my head [02:53.29]Hold me hostage honey you heard what I said [02:57.72] [03:00.46]At this point Dale the dog trainer had passed out [03:03.70]From either too much sorrow-drowning and whiskey-pounding [03:06.09] [03:07.40]Or just fainted out of fear which I didn't understand [03:11.38] [03:12.10]The man had nothing left [03:13.18] [03:15.16]A perfect night to feel the hand of death [03:16.83] [03:18.00]And what a way to go all it would've taken was some barroom heroics [03:21.96] [03:22.52]And Stacy would've wasted him [03:23.91] [03:26.28]So now it was me and her and I couldn't break her gaze [03:30.09] [03:31.75]Me and her dreaming of all the ways we could spend our days [03:34.62] [03:38.33]Still confusion stood heavy on her complexion [03:41.69] [03:44.59]So I said again [03:45.33] [03:46.67]Hold me hostage put the gun against my head [03:50.46]Hold me hostage honey you heard what I said [03:54.17] [03:58.72]Still looking impatient and confused [04:00.44] [04:01.71]I decided I would explain my arousal [04:03.54] [04:04.87]And state my proposal [04:06.19] [04:06.90]That she and I with love in eyes and trust [04:11.88] [04:13.67]Be thrust into blood-lust together [04:15.13] [04:16.49]Forever and ever until vengeance do we part [04:20.68] [04:24.34]And I said again [04:25.10] [04:25.96]Hold me hostage put the gun against my head [04:29.81]Hold me hostage honey you heard what I said [04:33.78] [04:37.11]Then I said [04:37.84]Take me with you take me whilst you can [04:41.04] [04:41.70]Take me with you honey I'll hunt down your man [04:45.76] [04:52.93]After still questioning the persistence in my assistance [04:55.98]I lied and said that as a bookie I was used to this bounty-hunting kind of thing [05:00.37] [05:02.75]And that we could find him kill him [05:05.88] [05:07.20]Retrieve her life's savings and the beat-up old Pontiac [05:09.62] [05:11.00]And be back before the track open again on Wednesday [05:13.74] [05:14.54]I said as payment for my act of chivalry hired mercenary [05:19.33] [05:20.62]Would be that she fed me bathed me and made love to me [05:24.16]With the same bold conviction as she felt for her burgeoning retribution [05:27.63] [05:31.45]As I looked deeper into her eyes I thought was she really gonna take me [05:34.63] [05:36.35]To have and to hold hostage [05:40.02] [05:41.05]In sickness and in health [05:42.20] [05:44.24]And in bullet-riddled wealth [05:46.00] [05:51.90]So I said [05:52.66]Take me with you take me whilst you can [05:55.64] [05:56.52]Take me with you honey I'll hunt down your man [06:00.06] [06:04.23]And then it happened [06:05.14] [06:08.13]She slowly walked along the bar back [06:10.22] [06:12.02]Knocking each bottle of cheap [06:13.50]Swill off the shelf with each swing of her hips [06:17.92] [06:19.56]As she rounded the service alley [06:21.13] [06:23.34]She unclasped her bra threw it on the bar [06:27.06] [06:27.79]Straddled me on my stool said [06:29.70]You crazy fool [06:30.61] [06:31.56]And kissed me [06:32.20] [06:33.43]Long and slow [06:36.00] [06:39.66]Gun around my neck and neckline full of sweat [06:42.81] [06:44.48]She took me right there and then on the floor [06:46.42]Next to poor old Pale Dale [06:48.44] [06:49.39]She said [06:50.40] [06:51.10]I'll take you with me take you while I can [06:55.26]I'll take you with me honey you can be my man [06:59.32]So we took off drove around for a couple of weeks [07:02.90]Making whoopee the whole way long [07:04.26] [07:05.62]Found her man empty pockets [07:08.68] [07:10.61]We left him lying in a pool of his own urine [07:14.21] [07:15.47]Couldn't kill him [07:16.13] [07:17.53]No fun shooting a coward anyhow [07:19.13] [07:22.83]So we took the Pontiac and opened a bar back in Savannah [07:25.31] [07:26.95]She pours the shots and I run the slots [07:30.02] [07:30.92]Been married seven years [07:32.03] [07:34.30]Living off quarters and beers [07:35.62] [07:38.69]She still brings the gun to bed every now and then [07:40.81] [07:42.72]Gets her kissin' through my submission [07:45.14] [07:48.50]So there it is [07:49.37] [07:50.50]The last and best bet I ever made [07:53.15] [07:58.51]Whoever said gambling's for suckers
