| Take the next plane down to New Mexico
|
| And I’ll be waiting here in Alamagordo, I’ll have the pickup packed up and
|
| ready to go
|
| To a somewhere, south of nowhere
|
| Little place I know. |
| There are so many times I’ve been trying to say
|
| All the so many things I’ve been dying to say
|
| And there’s so many feelings I’m feeling today
|
| And I’m calling to say I’ve gotta take you away Susannah
|
| It’s been a long time
|
| And I know this is the wrong time
|
| For you and me to be
|
| Trying desperately to be together
|
| It’s the wrong time
|
| And I’m not trying to say it’s right
|
| But I’d rather share in the trouble and strife
|
| Rather share in a part of your life Than to let you go forever
|
| So take the next plane down to New Mexico
|
| And I’ll be waiting here in Alamagordo
|
| I’ll have the pickup packed up and ready to go
|
| To a somewhere south of nowhere little place I know
|
| We’ve been lying and trying our best to go through
|
| With all the sensible things we’re expected to do
|
| But all the lying and the trying and starting anew
|
| Whatever I do |
| I’ve just gotta be with you Susannah
|
| There are times girl
|
| When it seems as though the whole world Is there between us
|
| And doesn’t mean us to be together again
|
| But then there are times girl
|
| To try and push the world away
|
| And try to live a few precious moments
|
| 'Cause we know these precious moments May never come again
|
| So take the next place down to New Mexico
|
| And I’ll be waiting here in Alamagordo
|
| I’ll have the pickup packed up and ready to go To a somewhere south of nowhere
|
| little place I know
|
| There are so many times I’ve been trying to say
|
| All the so many things I’ve been dying to say
|
| And there’s so many feelings I’m feeling today
|
| And I’m calling to say
|
| I’ve gotta take you away Susannah |
