Fred Eaglesmith - 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
