Song for Boxcar Betty
I've got no time for the aisles of fashionOr the bikinis of Malibu BeachDon't take me to where the pool water's splashingWhere everybody's skin is soft as a peachThe woman for me doesn't live in a mansionTaking baths in a hot tub, drinking whiskey and creamThe woman for me is a fighter with passionBoxcar Betty is the woman of my dreamsShe was a hobo and a trampAnd a rebel through and throughBoxcar Betty, I am yoursFor the OBUShe refused to marry richOr kiss anybody's assShe was proud to be a union womanAnd a leader of the working classShe hopped the freights from state to stateWith revolution in her eyes'Cause she couldn't stand to hear the soundOf a hungry child's criesShe was a hobo and a trampLetras de cancionesAnd a rebel through and throughBoxcar Betty, I am yoursFor the OBUBoxcar Betty didn't give a damnAbout what some people saidThey called her a free loverThey called her a dirty redBut if I could do anything in lifeI would hope to make my standHanging around the junglesAs Boxcar Betty's right-hand manShe was a hobo and a trampAnd a rebel through and throughBoxcar Betty, I am yoursFor the OBU From Letras Mania
