Story Behind the Song
This track was recorded by our pal Black Mac of T-Shirts fame in the studio on campus at BGSU.
Lyrics
She said, "well, if I could, I would go Home"
"Where golden flowers, will forever grow"
If it were that easy, why'd you ever go???
Who knows...
Maybe it's her quest for knowledge and greed
To grow golden flowers, you first need a
golden seed
When life is that easy, what more do you need?
Who knows...
If I had all her problems, I would feel just fine
So why don't you shut up and take your pills
and leave your bills
and don't you ever worry because daddy's bringin' down those HEAVEN'S TO BETSY
They say, "Don't blame Betsy, cuz she's well off"
Her mother does dishes, while daddy plays golf
and if Betsy's ready, she can do my dishes too...someday
I guess golden apples, fall from golden trees
some go home on Fridays, just in time for tea
you can hang out with anyone, but just NEVER speak to me
If I had my head on straight, this is what I'd do
While you're drivin' your daddy's Porsche
Right down my street
I'd jump right out in front of you and make daddy bring down those HEAVEN'S TO EDDIE!!!!
But until then, it's just HEAVEN'S TO BETSY.
