When I first began singing professionally my name was Betty Kean. This picture was taken a few years after this song was written in 1988. That was the year I went to Nashville for a recording session with producer Vern Pratt.
It was so long ago, when I was younger, gullible and believed that I had all the answers. I was single after desolving a 20 year marriage, looking for the love of my life, soulmate,in all the wrong places. I was enjoying the nightlife, dancing, singing when I could find a jam sesson where I could get up on the stage.
and then.....one night I looked across a smoke filled bar room, saw a tall, blond and handsome man and my heart jumped out of my chest. and the romance began, and ended, and began, and.....and my first country song was born.
"You came right back"
Why do you keep holding on when you know your love for me is gone, you walked out while I was beggin' you to stay....
Ain't love grand! The good thing about romances is there is always another one around the corner until you wake up and let God lead you to the person He has planned for you.
The important thing about this song is, it let me know I could do it. Not just write poetry but let it grow into a song.
I continued to write Country until a few years ago when I began to realize what I really want is to write for God and sing for Him. I have about six country songs and in fact recently wrote one--"Ain't gona walk that straight line". It is a fun one I will tell you about another day!
