I took Old Betty walking
I took Old Betty walking
out in the snow
to see where we would go
I took Old Betty fishing
I took Old Betty fishing
out on the lake
it was getting late
I took Old Betty driving
I took Old Betty driving
her face in the breeze
smiling for all to see
I took Old Betty skating
I took Old Betty skating
around the local park
we went really fast
I took Old Betty swimming
I took Old Betty swimming
the water was cool
like when we were back at school
I took Old Betty dancing
I took Old Betty dancing
out in the club
to see if it it was love
I took Old Betty flying
I took Old Betty flying
up in a plane
right back down again
I took Old Betty hiking
I took Old Betty hiking
along the mountain range
we were gone for days
Some people say I’m a lone rider
burnt out and bitter
an old street fighter yeah
Some people say I’m a slow driver
I don’t mind as long as I arrive somewhere
I took Old Betty bowling
I took Old Betty bowling
she slid down the lane
and landed on her face
I took her motorbiking
I took Old Betty biking
up and down hills
just to get our thrills
I took her to the movies
I took her to the movies
she didn’t understand
anything that happened
I took Old Betty shopping
I took Old Betty shopping
the shops were all closed
we wandered back home
Some people say I’m a lone rider
hurt by the bottle
an old street fighter yeah
Some people say I’m a slow driver
I don’t mind as long as I arrive somewhere
I took Old Betty walking, I took Old Betty walking
I took Old Betty walking, I took Old Betty walking
I took Old Betty walking, I took Old Betty walking
I took Old Betty walking, I took Old Betty walking
