Johnny grew up in the trailer park
On the edge of town where the streets are dark
His daddy was a hard drinkin' railroad man
His momma waited tables down at Pancake Land

Betty grew up behind a big iron gate
Steeped in tradition and so so grace
Everybody's choice for homecoming queen
'Til she ran away with Johnny, at 17

Betty's got a Honda, Johnny's got a pistol
It only shoots water, but it sure looks real
Superstition, nightmare, rollin' down the highway
Talk of the town at the evening meals

For a month and a half things went their way
Never thought about the price they paid
At my mama pretend they ran outta luck
They were fixin' a flat when the law pulled up

Betty got a lawyer, and Johnny got a sentence
"Damnit" thought Betty, doing 5 to 10
Spendin' all his time, scammin' and a-schemin'
Dreamin' up a way to be with Betty again

Pride of the prison, man of street
Johnny got religion so they let him preach
At local churches, he was packin'em in
Warnin' all the kids not to be like him

At Oakwell Baptist, late last night
Wasn't a single dry eye in sight
God wasn't looking, Johnny he slipped off
To a getaway Honda in the parking lot

Betty's got a Honda, Johnny's got a pistol
It only shoots water, but it sure looks real
Superstition, nightmare, rollin' down the highway
Talk of the town at the evening meals

Betty's got a Honda, Johnny's got a pistol
It only shoots water, but it sure looks real
Superstition, nightmare, rollin' down the highway
Talk of the town at the evening meals
