Betty Lou - Ramatam

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
