Anton Ruud & The Wrong Way Home - Betty Lou

〈Verse〉
Well, I can't keep my feet from falling to the ground
There's no job for me in this town
But last night I met a guy who ride a limousine
And he scratched me and I scratched him
Pointed, crossed the street, I'm to the other side
Placed the money on the table by my side
He laid a piece of stone to meddle in my hand
So, go across and deal with that young man

〈Chorus〉
So I went and did what I was told
I pulled the trigger and jumped the rope

〈Verse〉
I went back to retrieve and get myself a wine
When I hear a voice, from behind me, calling
Boy, I sure was going to be thrilled
But a seesaw saw, got shot and killed
I should have figured it out before the nocturne of the day
Sure as hell a man got begging on my tail
I took my famous 〈.?.〉 and gave it to a friend
Said, give it to my girl, for her to spend

〈Chorus〉
Can you tell my Betty Lou that I'll be gone?
I believe that I'm never coming home
〈Verse〉
In the morning
When I tasted the sweet comfort on my lips
I missed all the arms around your hips
I can't wait to get my own life back on track
Hey, Betty - it won't be long 'till I be back
At least you asked all the questions that have been asked
It's hard to tell the truth from where I stand
And there's no answers that were given that will last
Last longer than the moment that will pass

〈Outro〉
Just before they have my head
You will always be my girl when I'm your man
I'm your man, Betty Lou!
