Lonely Betty

Betty was young and dreamed of love
 A love she would plan as she played
 In her mind, she didn't have the time
 So, Jimmy would do for today
 Jimmy was cast to live real fast
 A role he would learn from his peers
 He lived in shacks and picked up small bags
 That he would sell to the addicts for years
 Jimmy is high strung and Betty is left alone
 With 3 little kids on the Trace
 Over the years, the blood, sweat, and tears
 Had dried up on Betty's sweet face
 So, Betty left home and Jimmy got hung
 With 3 little words on his chest
 I, love, and you, were left subdued
 By the things that had left bigger tracks
 From the burnt down coals and Jimmy's dirty holes
 Was Betty and those 3 kids
 If Jimmy would've seen
 Betty's burnt down dreams
