Oh Susanna
The city lights light up the skies and sidewalks
And I realized the second they came on
Surely that must be where all the light goes
when it gets dark back home
All the brunettes in New York City
And all the hills and rain in Tennessee
We road through them all for what seemed like years
But I was thinking about you and me
Oh Susanna
Don't you cry for me
I'm coming home to Alabama because I've got no place else to be.
Oh Susanna
It's me who cries for you
Lord I'm coming home to stay and honey you're just passing through.
I played my guitar out on the shore line
And the fireworks, they burned our in the bay
We drank til July fifth and then we slept right through the sixth
And I thought about you all three days
Then I guess I woke up sometime on a Friday
And realized that drug store wine, it just don't taste the same
Without the sweetness of your kiss to end the bottle. but man, it damn sure still works wonders on the pain
Oh Susanna
Don't you cry for me
I've got bones beneath my skin to keep me who I've got to be

Oh Susanna
It's me who cries for you
You sure do walk away a straight line for all the circles that you do.
Your entrance killed the laughter in the room
And my presence killed the laughter in you
And the cue card guy quit yesterday
You're left without a thing to say
You kindly pass on through
That's how I'll see you
That's how I'll see you
That's the portrait that I'll paint in my head every time I think of you
It don't take much for me
Just a tree line, some cheap wine and a back yard sky
Hovering over me like forgiveness just dangling on a string
It could turn it all around
Let's turn it all around
Oh Susanna
Don't you cry for me
I've got bones beneath my skin to keep me who I've got to be
Oh Susanna
It's me who cries for you
You sure do walk away a straight line for all the circles that you do.
