Betty Oshawa

Me and Betty Oshawa

We had a little band

I met her in a parking lot

When I answered a want ad

We played every little juke joint

Every single bar

Every little honky tonk

That you could get to with a car

It was fire on the mountain

That was her favorite one

And there's nothing that we didn't know

So we played the top 40 radio

Even though we didn't really like the songs

I was wrong

Me and Betty Oshawa

We didn't really get along

My ego was as big

As a roadhouse parking lot

Sometimes I'd hear her praying

Outside her dressing room

Trying to find the strength

For ones that she didn't wanna do

It was fire on the mountain

That was her favorite one

And there's nothing that we didn't know

So we played the top 40 radio

Even though we didn't really like the songs

I was wrong

I was wrong

Betty got a record deal

She's living in L.A.

And I work at the grocery store

Every single day

Sometimes she comes through town

And plays the local hall

She always leaves her number

But I don't return the call

It was fire on the mountain

That's still her favorite one

And there's still nothing that I don't know

She's on the top 40 radio

How I love it

When I hear em'

Play her songs

I was wrong

I was wrong
