INTRO: G C D G


#1.
G                   C
A friend and I made one short run to
D             G
Knoxville one day.
   C                           
We got the apple pie and coffee 
 G
hungries
       D
on the way.
   G             C                 
We pulled into a little truck stop 
D
just
           G     C               
outside of town..pretty soon the 
D
waitress
      G
came around.


#2.
G                                 
She said my name is Betty and I'd 
D
know you
   G
anywhere.
    C              G              
I'd like to have a minute of your 
A
time if
          D
you don't care.
          G            C
Would you sing a song about me and 
the
D                 G
waitresses you've met.
C                D           
About the broken promises we 
G......E
get.



CHORUS:
     A       D          A        
Now, listen, Betty, I'm singing 
          D
your song, about
            E                 
the drivers that have done you 
 A
wrong.

            D             E   
All I wanna do is lay the blame 
           A
where it belongs.
D                  E             
Listen, Betty, I'm singing you a 
A.....G
song.


#3.
G                C               
There's a broken heart for every 
D
truckstop
       G
on the right.
C                  G
There's a lonesome driver for each 
passing
       D
set of lights.
     G                C           
Now, I can't tell you how to love 
   D
or tell you
       G     C               D   
how to live..all I can do is tell
            G
 it like it is.


#4.
G                 C              
There's a million waitresses all up 
D
and down
    G
the line.
     C                   G        
I've seen some that were laughin' 
         A
and I've seen
               D
some that were cryin'.
     G                   C        
I've left some that were happy and
      D
 I've left
               G
some that were blue.
   C                 D            
If you're a waitress here's a song
     G....E
 for you.



CHORUS:
     A       D          A        
Now, listen, Betty, I'm singing 
          D
your song, about
            E                 
the drivers that have done you 
 A
wrong.
            D             E   
All I wanna do is lay the blame 
           A
where it belongs.
D                  E             
Listen, Betty, I'm singing you a 
A.....G
song.



#5.
G                C                
The highway is a part of hell that 
 D
never caught
   G
on fire.
    C             G
The driver is the kinda man the 
devil wouldn't
D
hire.
       G                   C      
That's what you're sayin', Betty, 
    D
but you can't
          G
stand the heat.
C                 D              
Quit that job and let those 
   G....E
drivers be.


CHORUS:
     A       D          A        
Now, listen, Betty, I'm singing 
           D
you a song, about
            E                 
the drivers that have done you 
 A
wrong.
            D             E   
All I wanna do is lay the blame 
           A
where it belongs.
D                  E            
Listen, Betty, I'm singing your 
A
song.
