GOING TO FRANCE

Hello!
My name is Kevin. Kevin Moore. People call me Keb' Mo'. I live in California. I am a guitarrist. I am a blues man. My parents were from Louisiana and Texas. I believe that's why I love the blues.

Let me tell you a story. This one is about the time my wife wanted to go to Paris. One day, early in the morning, I was in my bed. My baby turned and kissed me on the top of my head. She made me breakfast and then, she sent me on my way to work. She kissed me on the lips and said 'Have a nice day'. She always did that but, for some reason, I think she was up to something. I was right. She had me right where she wanted, I was in a trance. I was in trance by her love. We were talking about travelling the other day and then she said... Keb, do you remember that coversation we were having about travelling? I answered yes and then she said...you know... there ain't nothing wrong with Texas. But I'd really love to go to France" 

France? My God! I was desperate. It is very expensive to travel to France. I would do most anything, But I'm still making payments, On her wedding ring. We have just gotten married.

I had an idea. I went to my employer, Mr. Hayes. “I said I've been working a lot”. "I've been working like a mother. How 'bout a doggone raise"? Can I have a raise? After a long pause he replied. “You know Keb, money is tight. You know there ain't no chance". Then I said... "Won't you reconsider, my baby wants to go to France". Sorry! But no!

I was already dreaming about the trip. I could see us walking, along the Champs Elysees. Exchanging kisses. In a small French café.

I was sad. Very sad. Then I sat down in front of the computer. I was only thinking...what can I do? Suddenly...

Wake up darling! Wake up momma! Don't worry! Don't you fret! I found two cheap tickets on the internet. We leave on a Monday. For two whole weeks. All we have to do is just eat and sleep.

Bingo! I had her right where I wanted, she was in a trance. I said "There ain't nothing wrong with Texas, but you and I are going to France".
