lirik lagu alden moeller - the ballad of bonita ortega & her boy

[verse 1]
bonita ortega, the newest country star
singing songs with a tex~mex charm
just released her self~titled debut lp
on a long and grueling tour she’s been

most of her fans, they were posers
underneath in bed; that was where they wanted her
save for a songwriter from wayne county
who wrote her a hit and gained a bounty

[verse 2]
bonita started out in tampa
shows up the coast, macon to philadelphia
december she was to sweep new york upstate
and the troubadour had a chance to see her lovely face

bonita came into syracuse
a rocky trip gave her the blues
hating herself, for spending each night
drinking, and being a lecher’s delight

[chorus]
miss ortega, sweeping the nation
won’t you give a poor boy a chance
miss ortega, you know that you need ta
settle down with true romance
[verse 3]
she boarded and waved from the stage
the crowd sent into a carnal rage
the troubadour’s face was glowing bright red
by midnight, he hoped they will have met

faking her way through her set
she ached, full of regret
singing her songs without passion
the crowd tranced in her risqué fashion

[verse 4]
and once the show was through she broke
slammed her guitar down, and made a vicious croak
quickly escaped backstage to cry
to her did the worried troubadour fly

she shoved the curtain aside and hit a vase
tears falling down her face
she grabbed the nearest bottle she could find
to try and save a little piece of mind

[chorus]
miss ortega, sweeping the nation
won’t you give a poor boy a chance
miss ortega, you know that you need ta
settle down with true romance
[verse 5]
the troubadour first greets the band
of every player, he shook his hand
he said “man, y’all played my song splendid.”
“and the record you cut pays for my bed!”

the band took him backstage and started to pack
the troubadour knew that nothing held him back
he looked the way of her, to see a sobbing mess
he only hoped he could end her distress

[verse 6]
gazing down at the cowgirl on the floor
locks of hair shining like the onondaga shore
about to introduce himself and enter conversation
bonita thought he was yet another devastation

she sat up right and yelled, “you’d better scram”
scaredly he sputtered, “please don’t hurt me, ma’am”
she brandished her bottle and stood on her feet
he begged for her to hear him out while bracing for a beat, now

[chorus]
miss ortega, sweeping the nation
won’t you give a poor boy a chance
miss ortega, you know that you need ta
settle down with true romance
[verse 7]
now it was the cowgirl looking down upon the boy
she stared as her tears once again deploy
she shut her eyes and threw the booze away
realizing more would simply bring pain

the troubadour finally told her what he needed to
“ma’am, i wrote the song that brought you to number 2”
her eyes lit up, and her tears evaporated
she brought him to his feet, and with kisses he was saturated

[verse 8]
the cowgirl holds the trembling troubadour
she says, “boy, your wish won’t be ignored…”
“many men have come and gone like drifters
but in you, i don’t see a cheating grifter.”

“as soon as i first heard your demo of your tune
i knew i had to have you, no matter how soon
words can’t describe how happy i am
to meet you in the midst of all the d~mned”

[chorus]
miss ortega, sweeping the nation
won’t you give that poor boy a chance
miss ortega, you know that you need ta
settle down with true romance

[verse 9]
they stared into the vacuum of each other’s eyes
she brought him to her hotel room, where they spent the night
harmonizing over the standards they knew
guitars rang while to her his eyes were glued

he’d never been so enamored before
she was everything he needed, and more
he whimpered, “momma, please take me on your tour”
she smiled and said, “anything for my troubadour”

[verse 10]
she opened her concerts with his own set
and they even sang “jackson” as an encore duet
and when the show was through, they shared a hotel room
and soon enough they would be a bride and a groom

and so goes a story that ended with joy;
bonita ortega and her boy
a story you’d wish could happen to you
hopefully love will see you through

[chorus]
miss ortega, sweeping the nation
she gave a poor boy a chance
miss ortega, she knew that she needed ta
settle down with true romance
settle down with true romance
