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
