A good-hearted palooka falls for a lady of the night somewhere off Market Street in San Francisco.

Story behind the song
This is not autobiographical, if that's what you're thinking.
Lyrics
“Lifetime Of Blues” 1. You don’t know Betty Like I know Betty So you shouldn’t oughta say those things, Sweetest damned gal I ever did meet She’s the kind of gal you’d like to take back home Anyway I’m sick of living alone. 2. First time I saw her Was in the mornin ‘long about half past three Fighting two bulls down on Market Street I knocked one down The other ran free—she sighed: Hey, you’re the kind of guy I like. 3. You’ve seen Betty She’s quite a looker Looks just like a burlesque queen-- High heel shoes, bright red dress, When she walks the street She outshines all the rest— You know for an angel She really knows how to shake her wings. 4. We meet in the mornins Never in the evenins She says she needs her beauty sleep; Yeah, in a town like this You sure need your rest-- Heck I’ll hang around Untill she’s got some time for me-- Wild horses couldn’t make me leave. [Interlude. Repeat verses #3 and #4]
