Susannah
Buddies - 2:44
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.
