Chris Smither - Get a Better One lyrics

Lemme tell you 'bout Linda Lou She had a big head She slept with her hat on She had a big bu*t too She kept me whole with a big heart She went away, I fell apart I'm all alone, yeah, I'm on my own Lemme tell ya 'bout Betty Jean She had a filthy mind She worked at the car wash But she could not come clean Long as I live I'm gonna love her to d**h She said she'd be back, I don't hold my breath I'm all alone, yeah, I'm on my own I don't know why they get a look in their eye And they leave me They think I don't know what's goin' on But believe me, I know they're gone Lemme tell you 'bout Billie Ray She told me she needed a man Money's nothin' But that's all she'd say I couldn't get her to say I do Now she's gone, the money too I'm all alone, yeah I'm on my own I'm gonna get me a better one One with one name Who comes when I call her We'll have a lot of fun Be glad to see me when I get home Wag her tail when I bring her bones I ain't alone, never on my own I don't know why they get a look in their eye And they leave me They think I don't know what's goin' on But believe me, I know they're gone We'll sit together in the evenin' We'll stick together We'll never think about leavin'
