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
