rodney crowell - life without susanna lyrics
[verse 1]
life without susanna
started when townes van zandt died
from that day on she hid out undercover
her percocet and cigarette along for the ride
[verse 2]
she made the bed inside her head a shelter
each new day a sliver through the blinds
i tried tough love, tenderness and anger
but nothing pierced the fortress inside her mind
[bridge 1]
the first time i saw her she threw me that smile
pure angel of mercy east texas style
a poet in gingham, an -ss-ssin in jeans
the most near perfect woman i’d ever seen
she was hardly routine
[verse 3]
life without susanna
troubles me in ways hard to express
as she withdrew i grew distant and judgmental
a self-sure b-st-rd and a stubborn b-tch
locked in a deadly game of chess
the upside of my status a cut above the rest
[bridge 2]
the last time i saw her was close to the end
i cried like a baby for the shape i was in
no lipstick or powder to soften the tone
the most worthy opponent i’ve ever known
was already gone
[verse 4 – outro]
life without susanna
is something that we all have to face
so welcome to the world as we don’t know it
big blue knuckleball free floating somewhere out in sp-ce
where life without susanna is no man’s saving grace
this is life without susanna and i can’t find my place
