America Quote by Rick Allen

“If we had loads of money as a family, things would be different and they'd come to visit more and I'd get to spend more time here. But I'm laying down roots in America so when I'm there, just being at home, it's harder to break away from that.” quote by Rick Allen — Download Open image
