I'm not really a gambling man,

I still live in Utah and I
A

barely left the state.

But you still haven't told me what

you've learned -

round and getting drunk.

And it's not like you're any

you've been here."

sweep across the land

that I've learned

A

it's that a dollar costs more than it's worth
