[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 assassin 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 bastard and a stubborn bitch
Locked in a deadly game of chess
The upside of my status a cut above the rest
