Blackhearted Betty (words & music by Roy Evan Burstiner)

She's got a black leather jacket and a tattoo on her neck

Just a racing down the highway like a supersonic jet.

On her motorcycle she's just zooming past the boys

Tossing them away like a bunch of broken toys

She'll never get her fill of any single man

She's a blackhearted Betty of American land

 

With bright killer lipstick shes a devil in the night

Rolling like the thunder in the glare of one headlight

Tracks on the road to show you where she's been

Broken hearted bodies out in the raging din

All the time she's playing with them catch me if you can 

That's a blackhearted Betty of American land

 

The boys try to catch her but they know that she's too much

Faster than the lightning as she leaves em in the dust

Side of her bike marked with x's up and down

All the men she left behind in all those little towns

 

Dark black mascara that will burn you straight to hell

Tight leather pants that will wrap around the kill

Smoke from her back as she burns the rubber wheels

She's got a heart of stone and a body made of steel

You'll find out way too late as she takes all that she can

She's the blackhearted Betty of American land

Keep your distance if she eyes you up and down

Fixing in her sights she will get you anyhow

Five feet of poison that will drown you thru and thru

Revving up her motor as she leaves you in the blue

 

Sizing up her victims with the coldness in her eyes

Knocking down the bodies in the darkness of the night

Tell tale hearts that are beating in the dunes

Marking them with kisses, pouring salt into their wounds

Whiskey pouring mama that is blazing while she can

She's a blackhearted Betty of American land

 

Guarding all her secrets as she whips her bike in gear

Tearing down the highway, as she rips into your fears

Tread marks in the dirt like a roadmap to your pain

Taking your desires that are planted in your brain

You gotta pay the piper if you want face her stand

She the blackhearted Betty of American land

 

Engines revving hard as she strap her legs on tight

Heading to the darkness in the blackness of the night

Eyes shooting daggers til it lands upon her prey

Better hold on tightly cause she'll tear your soul away

You'll find yourself a goner as your caught up in her plans

Sh's a blackhearted Betty in American land
