Listen Betty (i`m Singing Your Song) — текст песни (Dave Dudley)

A friend and I made one shot run to Knoxville one day
We got the apple pie and coffee hungries on the way
We pulled into a little truckstop just outside of town
Pretty soon the waitress came around
She said my name is Betty and I`d know you anywhere
I`d like to have a minute of your time if you don`t care
Would you sing a song about me and the waitresses you`ve met
About the broken promises we get
Now listen Betty I`m singing your song about the drivers that have done you wrong
All I wanna do is lay the blame where it belongs listen Betty I`m singing your song
[ piano ]
There`s a broken heart for every truckstop on the right
There`s a lonesome driver for each passing set of lights
Now I can`t tell you how to love or tell you how to live all I can do is tell it like it is
There`s a million waitresses all up and down the line
I`ve seen some that were laughin` and I`ve seen some that were cryin`
I`ve left some that were happy and I`ve left some that were blue
If you`re a waitress here`s a song for you
Now listen Betty...
[ piano ]
The highway is a part of hell that never caught on fire
The driver is the kinda man that devil wouldn`t hire
That`s what you`re sayin` Betty but you can`t stand the heat
Quit that job and let those drivers be
Now listen Betty...
Now listen Betty...
