Tom And Betty Joe Lyrics

Tom got drunk and his head was sunk at the bar again this evening
He was a no show for betty joe and she's bound to make it even
Let's go to the dance, give me one last chance if not you'll have your freedom
So let's go, one more goddamn time

And he said get in the car, it's not that far
She knew that he'd been drinking
She said all right, she didn't want to start a fight
So they started leaving
There was a car crash, betty's face got smashed

And tom was hardly breathing

So let's go one more goddamn time

Tom can't see the change
Time won't change his ways
He'll always be the same
Betty still counts the days

Three months past, the doctor took off his cast and betty's face was finally healing
With tom she couldn't stay, she had to get away, but for him she still had feelings
Late one night tom came home to fight and that was all the reason
She needed for leaving
