The Mulligan Brothers - Oh Susanna lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus 1] 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 pa**ing through [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus 2] 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 [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] Your entrance k**ed the laughter in the room And my presence k**ed the laughter in you And the cue card guy quit yesterday You're left without a thing to say You kindly pa** 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 [Bridge] 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 [Chorus 3] 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
