Places In Between

Sweet, sweet Betty with the big blond hair
And the dark brown roots
Always has her bright pink lipstick goin'
With a li’l bit showing on her left front tooth
Sweet, sweet Betty meets me at the bar
On the corner of 11th and Green
To talk about politics and lunatics
And places in between
Lil' Jenn has her world in a swirl
'Cause she fell in love with a coffee girl
Fell in love at the corner cafe
With a 20 year old who swings both ways
Lil' Jenn meets me at the bar
On the corner of 11th and Green
To talk about politics and lunatics
And places in between
There are places in between
I been here going on 10 years
I told him all of my dreams
He said he’d buy me a flat in New York City
Debbie dates a millionaire
She capped her teeth and dyed her hair
Betty and Jenn and me all swear
She’s never paid her tab
There is no choice if you know what I mean
The only game in town we got is this scene
Someday we say we’ll make a getaway
In a limo and not a cab
Sweet, sweet Betty can smoke
And eat and talk at the same time
She’s doing hair and makeup at Claire’s
And says if I did I’d fit in fine
There’s something in a town this small
That I find way too tall
I fear I’ll get stuck here
'Cause I can’t climb
