Oh, yeah

Movin' out to the sounds of the runnin' beat
Freezin' my feet in the cold Montana sleet
'Cause the road has been an endless scene
Since I took that bus from Abilene
I'll bet they're searchin' high and low for me

Hitchin' through the salt flats on my way to LA
Seems like a year since I seen a sunny day
If I only hadn't have used that gun
Maybe now I wouldn't be on the run
I just can't stop, can't let them get to me

Betty Lou, what have you done to me?
You know you made my life an endless misery
Well, if I hadn't have used that gun
Lord, a free man I might be
But I'll come back and get you, wait and see

Oh, yeah

I had to get in from the heat that summer night
I never thought I'd get into a fight
Well, then I saw her standin' there
Sequined hot pants and teased up hair

And her eyes said, "baby, get on over here"

Then this cat arrives, sayin' he's her man
Knocks me down, a pistol's in his hand
I jump up and hit him good
You know I grab his gun and there I stood
A flash, a bang, and I'm a wanted man

Betty Lou, what have you done to me?
You know you made my life an endless misery
Well, if I hadn't have used that gun
Lord, a free man I might be
But I'll come back and get you, wait and see

Yeah

Betty Lou, what have you done to me?
You know you made my life an endless misery
Well, if I hadn't have used that gun
Lord, a free man I might be
But I'll come back and get you, wait and see

You know that I'll come back and get you, wait and see
Oh now that I've come back to get you, wait and see
