Can't Hardly Hold Her





















Did she pester him to leave town?

When did they go?
When his friends started calling her Lines.

As in?
Chuck Berry. A musician who took a girl across state lines.

Just some delicious dialogue from the novel I'm currently devouring: Smith Henderson's breathtaking debut Fourth Of July Creek.
