This is a worthwhile goal. It shows you’re in shape. I can do it quite easily. Of course I only weigh 150 lbs (I’m 5’11). I’ve always had good upper body strength. Do a lot of pushups and pullups. A lot of guys who can lift a lot of weight can’t even do a few correctly. And eat right. That helps a lot.

1st Verse
Now I wasn’t raised as no rich boy,
some people even called me low class
But my daddy kept his family fed,
even though he didn’t make much cash.
He hunted for deer and fished for trout,
and momma grew a little garden to try to help out.
We raised a lot of chickens and rabbits too,
(as pets?) Hell no! We ate rabbit stew.

Chorus
Now listen to me baby, cause I don’t want to fight,
but deer meat and okra are what we’re having tonight.
I don’t want no quiche or lobster, truffles or caviar,
let’s just eat a country meal and then head out to the bar.

2nd Verse
Now, I always love to sing, in church and in school.
One day I met this fancy chick, who said “you sound real cool”.
She told me she would take me places,
she said “we’re gonna go far”.
We’ll live in a great big house and drive a real nice car.
Now she kept all her promises. That much I must admit.
But sometimes living the high life, just makes you feel like —
(you wanna quit.)
When my friends come over, she treats ‘em just like dirt.
I asked “when are we gonna visit my folks?”
and she said “you know that just won’t work.”

My dad taught me to play when I was eight or so. Definately worth learning. I’ve entered a few tournaments and done all right, but I’m more into poker now. Just as fascinating and complex, but more money involved.
