Lyrics Betty Lou - Ramatam

Betty Lou

Movin' out to the sounds of the runnin' beat
Freezin' my feet in the cold Montana sleet
'Cause the road has been an endless scene
Since I took that bus from Abilene
I’ll bet they’re searchin' high and low for me
Hitchin' through the salt flats on my way to L. A
Seems like a year since I seen a sunny day
If I only hadn’t have used that gun
Maybe now I wouldn’t be on the run
I just can’t stop, can’t let them get to me
Betty Lou, what have you done to me?
You know you made my life an endless misery
Well, if I hadn’t have used that gun
Lord, a free man I might be
But I’ll come back and get you, wait and see
Oh yeah
I had to get in from the heat that summer night
I never thought I’d get into a fight
Well, then I saw her standin' there
Sequined hot pants and teased up hair
And her eyes said, «baby, get on over here»
Then this cat arrives, sayin' he’s her man
Knocks me down, a pistol’s in his hand
I jump up and hit him good
You know I grab his gun and there I stood
A flash, a bang, and I’m a wanted man
Betty Lou, what have you done to me?
You know you made my life an endless misery
Well, if I hadn’t have used that gun
Lord, a free man I might be
But I’ll come back and get you, wait and see
Yeah
Betty Lou, what have you done to me?
You know you made my life an endless misery
Well, if I hadn’t have used that gun
Lord, a free man I might be
But I’ll come back and get you, wait and see
You know that I’ll come back and get you, wait and see
Oh now that I’ve come back to get you, wait and see
