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
 Well 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
 Well 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 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 from a string
 It could turn it all around
 It could turn it all around
 Turn it all around
 Let's turn it all around
 Oh Susanna
 Well 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
 Sure do walk away a straight line for all the circles that you do
 Sure do walk away a straight line for all the circles
 That you do
