lyrics

BETTY I’M MARRIED

Well this beer’s as cold
As the night is hot
And Satan’s own coals
Ain’t as hot as Shreveport tonight
I’ve been down here working
But tonight I’m playing
And I’m going home Sunday
Back to Macon

Well I knew that she
Was trouble when I seen her
And I told myself I was just being nice
Till her hand was on my knee
And I know that she saw
Saw my hand and saw that ring
But I swear that’s when Betty
Moved a little closer to me

Betty I’m married
Betty I’m taken
But she ain’t here with me
Tonight to save me
Yeah I’ve been lonely lately
And you got me thinking
That you sure look good to me
But Betty I’m married

Well the band did play
And Betty did sing
And she kept pouring drinks
And she kept playing me
And I found myself
Out on the floor, out in her arms
Swaying to the music
Of a beat that I can’t keep

Chorus

Well the morning light
Is always bright with no blinds
And she lay sleeping there
So beautiful in my eyes
And she wakes to find me staring
And she’s glad that I ain’t gone
Yeah it’s Monday morning
And I’m glad to be home
