Susannah

Susannah is a C chord, behind a gentle beat

She has a kind of sadness

She's simple and she's sweet

While we're out in other towns

Trying to make these strangers weep

She's holding it down

She's not pretending

She's not pretending that she'll change the world

Or the way that others think

She's holding it down in her hometown

And she's pouring the perfect drink

She's not prepared to stay forever

She's just not saying when she'll go

But one day you'll get to Gainesville

She won't be there and then you'll know

Susannah is a C chord, behind a gentle beat

She has a kind of sadness

She's simple and she's sweet

While we're out in other towns

Trying to make these strangers weep

She's holding it down

She's not pretending
