lyrics

I met Suzie on the fourth of July,
With a broken tooth and a wink in her eye,
In a broke down car with a headlight out,
She was leaning against the door on the old flood route.

We pulled into the dealership half past 3,
Just a crowbar and a hammer, Suzie and me,
She beat in the window of an old used car,
Then lit the can of gas with a lit cigar,

I said, "Hey man,
It's alright."

Well the sun was coming up, steam was rising from the street,
We picked up a siren in the July heat,
There was no one around, nothing to see,
Suzie took my pistol and she shot it for me.

We made it in the bathroom of an Exxon station,
Suzie's lips were smiling like a pink carnation,
I threw the clerk a dollar and we hit the track,
We was bound for Raleigh, never coming back.

I said, "Hey man,
It's alright."

Suzie took the wheel over a river bridge,
She was gunning that thing like a son of a bitch,
They was on us now, was on our backs,
She said, "Raleigh's looking pretty far now Jack."

Now Baton Rouge is lonely and it's hot in the sun,
And I show my little Suzie off to everyone,
She's dead in my wallet, she's dead in her shoes,
And everybody knows her name from the evening news.

I said, "Hey man,
It's alright."
