Life Without Susanna |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| The first time I saw her she threw me that smile |
| Pure angel of mercy east Texas style |
| A poet in gingham, an assassin in jeans |
| The most near perfect woman I’d ever seen |
| She was hardly routine |
| Life without Susanna |
| Troubles me in ways hard to express |
| As she withdrew I grew distant and judgmental |
| A self-sure bastard and a stubborn bitch |
| Locked in a deadly game of chess |
| The upside of my status a cut above the rest |
| 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 |
| 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 space |
| Where life without Susanna is no man’s saving grace |
| This is life without Susanna and I can’t find my place |
