lyrics

Aww Betsy,
you were so happy
when we were drunk
smelling like skunks
skipping down the street
shoes were falling off your feet
you were holding my hand
and I never wanted
to let you go

Aww Betsy
you told me your secret last night
said it was hard for you to hide
then you started to cry
and you told me you loved me.

you pushed me up against the glass
of the Nicholby's thrift shop
which use to be an antique store
and before that,
again,
it was another thrift shop
and you smiled a smile that you dont
hand out too often
and you kissed me
up against that glass
and it must of lasted
until four in the morning
you said your good nights
sobered up
and forgot everything
by morning.

Aww Betsy,
you were so happy
when we were drunk
smelling like skunks
skipping down the street
shoes were falling off your feet
you were holding my hand
and I never wanted
to let you go

Their shows have won the hearts of the youth, the aged, and those lost and inebriated somewhere in between. ... more
