Betty Oshawa

Lyrics

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
 And every single bar
 Every little honky-tonk
 You could get to with a car
 And it was 'Fire On The Mountain'
 
 That was her favorite one
 But there wasn't nothing that I 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
 For help with the songs she didn't want to do
 And it was 'Fire On The Mountain'
 
 That was her favorite one
 But there wasn't nothing that I didn't know
 So we played the Top 40 radio
 Even though we didn't really like the songs
 I was wrong
 ♪
 Betty got a record deal
 And she's living in L.A.
 I work in a grocery store
 Every single day
 Sometimes she comes to town
 She plays the local hall
 She always leaves her number
 But I don't return the call
 And 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 them play her songs
 I was wrong
 ♪
 I was wrong
