The Bugey (Arpitan: Bugê) is a historical region in the department of Ain in eastern France between Lyon and Geneva. It is located in a loop of the Rhône River in the southeast of the department. It includes the foothills of the Jura mountains, and the highest point is the Grand Colombier. Bugey is divided into two sub-regions: Haut Bugey and Bas Bugey. The inhabitants of Bugey are known as Bugistes or alternatively as Bugeysiens.
The Bugey was a fief of the Holy Roman Empire. When Emperor Henry IV received the much-needed support of Adelaide of Susa, marchesa of Turin, when he came to Italy to submit to Pope Gregory VII and Matilda of Tuscany at Canossa, in return for her permission to travel through her lands, Henry gave Bugey to Adelaide. Henceforth it belonged to the House of Savoy until 1601, when it was ceded to France by the Treaty of Lyon.
Bugey is delimited by the Rhone in the south and east and by the Ain in the west. The northern boundary of Bugey is disputed. In 1867 Baron Achille Raverat declared the Valserine to be the northern border of Bugey, but contemporary definitions generally include the entire Ain department as part of Bugey. The region of Revermont has never been considered part of Bugey.
I've been running from a dark horse
I can't lose it
I've been calling to an old cross
Don't excuse it
Well I've paid them back, and I'm alright
Gotta mean kinda woman, she's outta sight
Well I don't mind not sitting in the old booth
At the back, don't break the house rules
I go looking for my ego
Don't explain it
No more laughing I believe girl
Just sustain it
Well I got a home and it's alright
With a mean kinda woman, she's outta sight
Well I don't know 'bout messing up the old school
Don't mind 'bout breading all the house rules
I got things I wanna do girl
Don't abuse it
I don't wanna be a bad boy
You don't fool me
Well you don't need me
Well that's alright
What a guy's gotta live with
Is outta sight
I just wanna eat anything paid for
You're a --- goodness, lips of danger
It's a beast
Hey, hey, I'm breaking my rules
Oh yeah
I don't need no one to tell me
I don't need no one to tell me
What to do girl
No, no no no, said no
Oh, oh, girl, alright
Well, here we go
I got things I wanna do girl
Don't abuse it
I don't wanna be a bad boy
You don't fool me
Well I've been mean
Well that's alright
Got a cat kinda woman
She's outta sight
I just wanna be everything you told me
You don't sit philosophy
Yes it is
Hey hey, Oh, hey, hey, hey, ooh
Hey hey hey hey hey hey, hey hey hey hey yeah
