Betsy
Words and Music – Carey Blackwell
Verse 1
Didn’t even give me a reason
She left without sayin’ goodbye
I didn’t even have that leavin’ feelin’
She was gone in a blink of an eye
Verse 2
Now I’m sittin’ on my front porch every evenin’
Hopin’ she’ll come runnin’ up the drive
But I know she’s probably out there ridin’ shotgun
With some stranger sittin’ by her side
Chorus
Betsy – where've you gone now
Betsy – what went wrong
She left me all alone now
Someone tell me where she’s gone
Verse 3
Every time I’m passing by her old friends
They look at me like I’ve done something wrong
But there just was no way that I could stop her
‘Cause before I knew it she was gone
Verse 4
This whole thing is truly a mystery
There ain’t nobody sayin’ a word
It’s enough to drive somebody crazy
Just to think she’s someone else’s girl
Chorus
Breakdown
Look out ‘cause here they come
From the moon and the stars and the morning sun
They’re gonna fly down and find a cow
And beam ‘em on up and I don’t know how
Gather them up and secure the door
With a hammer and a nail and a two-by-four
Don’t let ‘em out they can kick and shout
They’re better off there ‘cause there’s trouble about
A streak of light goes flyin’ by
And big old Betsy let’s out a cry
So you run to the field and open the gate
And you look around but you know it’s too late
Get on the phone with the CIA
But they won’t tell you a single thing
‘Cause they’re coverin’ up a conspiracy
And it’s all top secret and they won’t tell me
We’re low on milk and we’re low on cheese
And I ain’t seen steak in a couple of weeks
Something weird is going on
Won’t you tell me where my Betsy’s gone
Tell be where my Betsy’s gone
Chorus
