In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content:

-48Fairest of Fair Weather Friends He’s the best of a bad situation She’s a good thing that comes to an end. An impetuous infatuation The kind of game nobody wins. But he played a tune on her heartstrings She put the words in his mouth. He’s always facin’ the music She’s facin’ the south. And he wore a bad reputation She was said to be wary of men Now it’s always a special occasion For the fairest of fair weather friends. They savor the taste of temptation Longing to lie skin-to-skin Seekin’ that same old sensation Been ’round since women and men And he takes her dangerous places Much to her sultry delight And she takes him home for siesta And deep in the night. They continue without reservation No need to lie or pretend On a journey with no destination They’re the fairest of fair weather friends. They meet for their brief assignation He smiles when she welcomes him in They part with no long lamentations For they’ll get together again They share a passion for passion And a glass of that sweet “by and by,” They laugh at the luck of the lovers And sometime they cry. -49What began as a simple flirtation Has now grown as wild as the wind. It’s a love with no great expectations For the fairest of fair weather friends. Copyright © 2002 Steven Fromholz Esteban Publishing (ASCAP) ...
