We have been through some shit haven’t we?
Girl I need you to hold on a little bit longer.
I know you’re tired.
Fuck.
I’m tired too.
We are gonna be alright.
Long as WE alright.
You get me?
I’m going to get some work done to you soon.
I promise.
Not sure what the next move is. But we gonna figure it out together.
Just me and you. In my Tony! Toni! Tone voice.
You know I can’t sing.
Oh I really want to rebuild you, girl.
Rebuild your motor. Transmission.
New suspension.
Yeah, I got my leg repaired, why not get yours done too Hell.
Same parts just rebuilt.
Want you to be you.
That might be a metaphor for something
Man Betty, I wanna take you everywhere.
I didn’t like our time in St. Louis and the Illinois area but you did cause we were always on that highway.
I know you.
If my money was right Betty, we would go on all types of highways.
Wyoming. Montana.
If I had a way to make money driving you everywhere I would do it.
When I was out in California rented a young cousin of yours. GMC Sierra. Strong young boy. Girl you would’ve loved that highway. Me and you (Aww Baby) windows down. Sunroof open. Music pouring from your beautiful Bose speakers.
Yeah you know that shit I like. Could stop at those little cut offs where you can look out at the ocean. I could open your hatch lay back there and smoke a good fat one.
The Drive into Washington State.
Breathtaking.
If I won a scratch off right now I would take you to the GMC dealership and say, “Aye Players call me when my lady is as new as when she rolled off the assembly line.”
Real Spill, every other vehicle I look at is a younger version of you.
We really have been through some things.
I’ve slept in you more times than I care to think about.
Try to keep you clean when I can.
Remember the first time I saw you.
Reminded me of me.
Big.
Black.
Strong.
Even had a bullet hole like mine.
That’s why I never fixed it all the way.
Could have.
Easily.
Know how.
But our scars define us.
I looked at you and said this gull been through some things like me.
You might be metal and rubber girl but I feel your soul.
Put my hand on your hood and said, “This is the one. This is my truck. That’s Betty. Big Black Betty.”
Paid cash for your pretty ass.
Haven’ regretted it
Big Black Beautiful Betty.
We’re both fucking tired dahling.
But it’s gonna be okay just be patient and hold on for me.
Been through some shit.
Haven’t had many ladies in you.
Couple who were really cool and cool with you.
Just cause I was inside them don’t mean they get to be inside you.
Yeah girl I don’t have it figured out.
My back is against the wall.
As soon as things get better I’m putting nothing but premium in you.
Getting you some new shoes and tires. Big New Orleans Saints gold brake calipers.
New Orleans Saints light that Shines on the ground when your door opens.
We’re gonna go from coast to coast. I’m going to stop and write as we ride through all the places Calvary and Jake went.
Come on girl.
I hear you and I am going to take care of that in a minute.
Just anit got the dough.
This anit where I saw myself at 50 dahlin.
Ahh!
Hey Betty.
How bout when I sell my book to Netflix for a animated series, me and you are going everywhere.
Ideally my son would be with us.
You’re going love him.
He’s a good kid.
Shit man now.
Come on baby I know.
I swear I’ll put gas in you in the morning.
You can’t break down dahlin cause I can’t.
We’re all we got.
