Story Behind the Song
Although written many years ago about no one in particular, this tune and storyline came to stick with me and everyone always liked it. I'm not sure where the accent's from but it just felt right. This is one of the best versions I've come up with - very simple, guitar and voice.
Lyrics
Betsy, where'd ya go?
I've been waitin all day, waitin all day
by your side
running around for the ride
for a lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely smile
Betsy, where ya been?
I started out yesterday with a grin
Now I'm losin my pride
yeah, the darker side
is written all over me
Well, I remember when you said
"I love you" - it burns in my head
Tomorrow where will we be led?
Maybe love is spilling all over me
spilling all over me....yeah
Betsy, I think you know
I'm missin the way, ya make me feel today
so I'm spendin my time on the borderline
Betsy, where'd ya go?
