A live performance video of the song by CowboySlim, in Nashville, TN It's a true story of a love affair, a modern romance. I met my wife in a Denny's coffee shop in San Diego. We were both working the graveyard shift. Whenever I tried to give her money, she used to always say "Don't try to buy my love." It was a running joke in our relationship. After we painfully divorced, I wrote this song, kinda like an "I love you" and kinda like a "gotcha back for that..." Yeah, Dolores, I still love you. But that's another story...and maybe another song...
