about

Betty Don’t was originally released in 2018 and is probably the most commercial / “radio Friendly” song I’ve written, it also got me my first play on local radio thanks to John Kerr at the BBC. After playing it for a year or two it has transformed into this new, slightly more rocked up version, which is a better representation of my original vision for the song.

Written by Chris Madden
Recorded & Mixed by Chris Madden at Madden Studio

lyrics

Betty Don’t

(Verse 1)
She says, he’s got money in the bank & a house by the beach,
She says, he’s great with kids & he’d really love to teach,
She says, he’s got a Mercedes Benz to toe a boat with his friends,
She says, he was scouted by he big leagues when he turned ten,

(Pre-Chorus)
Yeah, yeah girl, that may be true,
But let me tell you a few things that i bet he don’t do,

(Chorus)
I bet he don't kiss you on his back porch late at night,
Or cut the full beams & drive by moonlight,
Let you take the wheel on an old back road,
Drop it down a gear & let the horses roar,
I bet he don't drink, i bet he don't cuss,
I bet he don't cruise & don’t cause no fuss,
And I bet he says he’ll love you when i won’t,
Ah but I bet he don't

(Verse 2)
She says, she loves his body & his tribal tattoos,
She says, he’s got a brother in Dubai & a sister on the news,
She says, his teeth are so white & he speaks so clear,
She says, ah he’s tells you all the things you wanna here,

(Chorus)
(Bridge)
Well I ain’t sweet enough to be a real cute dream lover,
Ain’t hard enough to be a real bad mother-trucker,
I’m just a long haired redneck son of a gun,
Made for girls like you so honey don’t play dumb,

(Chorus)
(Chorus)
