Betty Lonely Lyrics - Demons - Cowboy Junkies

Betty Lonely lives in a duplex of Stucco 

On the north bank of a brackish river 

Her ears omit noise from a nearby airstrip 

Her mind floats beyond the snapper boats 

Betty Lonely, her green eyes are roughly staring 

At a point through a sliding glass door 

Her heart lives over the drawbridge 

Her brain is wet like a throw net 

Betty Lonely, she will always think in Spanish 

Though I know her Spanish black hair, it 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
