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!
