Susannah Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It was a clear blue Sunday morning down in Tennessee
I was a-flat out back of the church getting ready to leave
Lord knows I never been afraid of dyin'
I just can't stand the thought of comin' clean
High grade kitchen soap scares the living hell outta me
Turns out that devil of a weatherman lied 'cause it started to rain
Ain't it funny how the tallest crime tend to find the shortest blame?
Well, I was wringin' that sumbitch out
Callin' him every kind of terrible thing
Was about that time
Susannah got to walkin' away

[Chorus]
Susannah, why you got to run me around?
Who's takin' care of who?
Tell me what you really fussin' about Happens every time you see her, gets you all turned out
Oh Susannah (Susannah)
Darlin' of a one horse town

[Verse 2]
Jambalaya truck stop, pull apart, waitin' to heal
My boy Johnny at the discount tire cuts a hell of a deal
Could you help a good and honest man
Revive a broken body of steel?
For one more sleepless night against the wheel
[Chorus]
Susannah, why you got to run me around?
Who's takin' care of who?
Tell me what you really fussin' about
Got you workin' up a fever, kickin' all the front doors down
Oh Susannah (Susannah)
Darlin' of a one horse town
Oh Susannah (Susannah)
Darlin' of a one horse town
