The Battle Of Betty's Love

Quarter score and four years ago

Face to face on an old abandoned road

I said, "Cross that line and I'll bust your mouth"

Frankie was a friend of mine

Raised just north of that Hazzard County line

We were like brothers

'Til Betty's family migrated south

Guess he felt the same way as me

Fist to fist under a sycamore tree

We were soldiers in an unsettled war

Yeah, to hold her to us was worth fighting for

Just two Southern boys too proud to ever give up

On the battle of Betty's love

Five years later, homecoming game

I was on that football team

And Frankie he wasn't so he got to walk Betty out

Half-time the score was tied

They announced the queen and I just lost it

When that punk turned around and smiled

Coach said, "Boy just let it go"

And I knocked him off that homecoming float

We were soldiers in an unsettled war

Yeah, to hold her to us was worth fighting for

Just two Southern boys too proud to ever give up

On the battle of Betty's love

Finally, got outta school and moved on with our lives

Don't know what those years taught me

But how to take a punch and Frankie leads with his right

Now we didn't learn much, but you oughta see me fight

Hear Betty's married again, this time he's a Yankees fan

Me and Frankie just sit back and laugh at those good ol' times

When we were soldiers in an unsettled war

Yeah, to hold her to, us was worth fighting for

Just two Southern boys so glad the white flag rose up

On the battle of Betty's love

Quarter score and four years ago

Face to face on an old abandoned road

I said,"Cross that line and I'll bust your mouth"
