Susanna

Left my home in Alabama, chasing dreams down in Tennessee, Got this old guitar on my shoulder, but you’re all I really need. I hear the road is callin’, and I’m bound to follow through, But every mile I’m driftin' feels like a mile from you. Chorus Oh, Susanna, don’t you cry for me, I’ll be comin’ back to Birmingham, as soon as I am free. Oh, Susanna, keep a light on, please, Wait for me, oh wait for me. Verse 2 City lights don’t shine as bright as that smile back in our town, But this big dream’s got a price tag, and it’s been weighing me down. If the wind would take me homeward, I’d trade it all in a beat, To feel your arms around me, and the dust of those old streets. Chorus Oh, Susanna, don’t you cry for me, I’ll be comin’ back to Birmingham, as soon as I am free. Oh, Susanna, keep a light on, please, Wait for me, oh wait for me. Bridge Through the storms and lonely nights, I see your face so clear, Every song I sing out here, I’m wishin' you were near, Holdin’ tight to the hope we made, in the southern summer rain, Just a little longer, girl, I’ll be back again. Verse 3 So keep my memory close, darlin’, like a song you hum along, Every tune out here’s about you, in the heart of every song. One day I’ll hit that highway, with the sunrise in my eyes, Comin' back to you, Susanna, under those blue southern skies. Chorus Oh, Susanna, don’t you cry for me, I’ll be comin’ back to Birmingham, as soon as I am free. Oh, Susanna, keep a light on, please, Wait for me, oh wait for me. Outro Yeah, oh, Susanna, keep a light on, please, Wait for me, oh wait for me.
