Betty Lonely Lyrics - Singles - Vic Chesnutt

Betty lonely 

Lives in a duplex of stucco 

On the north bank of a brackish river 

Her ears omit the noise from a nearby airstrip 

Her mind floats beyond the snapper boats 

Betty lonely 

Her eyes are roughly staring 

At a point through her sliding glass door 

Her heart lives over a drawbridge 

Her brain is wet like a thrownet

Betty lonely 

She will always think in spanish 

Though i know 

Her spanish black hair will start to fade 

She sunk her past 

Out in the surrounding salt flats 

Her maidenhood was lost 

Beneath the spanish moss

Betty lonely 

Just talks to her grandbaby 

Everybody else she blots them out 

But her words stick 

Like a flounder gig 

Her dry laugh is like a gaff
