Intro (spoken)
Katie Webster: You know, BB?
BB King: Yes, baby?
Katie Webster: Life is hard being out here on the road by myself all the time.
BB King: I know it, honey, I know it.
Katie Webster: And I'm just gettin' tired.
BB King: How do you spell it, baby, how do you spell it?
Katie Webster: T-I-D-E... tired.
BB King: Yea, I gotch ya, I gotch ya.
Katie Webster: Sometimes it makes me feel like I want to clean up my act.
But somehow, I always let you men send me up this one-wayroad...
Now I'm intelligent enough to recognize a detour sign
But I'm hard headed.
BB King: Yes
Katie Webster: I just go right past the detour sign and always run into a dead-end.
BB King: Yes, I know, baby
Katie Webster: But they always told me that something worth having is worth waiting for
And I have definitely been waiting a long time
BB King: hum-um
Katie Webster: But, you know, B? Since I meat you I feel that all my strife and troubles are all over in life
BB King: Yes they are, baby, I'm here with ya.
Katie Webster: Because I feel like you are the man...
BB King: I'm the one
Katie Webster: ...that I want in my life.
Someone who will treat me like the queen that I am...
The Swamp Boogie Queen.
BB King: I know what you mean.
I'm the one you need.
