High Road

Susie was a pearl of a woman Jack was a golden man She told him she'd love him forever He gave her a wedding band Their parents said they were just children Love comes just as fast at leaves They think that they've built a foundation Until life knocks them down with a breeze Living comes natural to many Love comes natural to few You take the high road to freedom I'll take the low road to you Jack bought a brand new tractor The bank him the land Said the work may be hard but it's honest I'll pay them by May if I can Sometimes they talk about children Names and things that they'll do If it's a girl, we'll call her JoAnna She'll grow up to be just like you Living comes natural to many Love comes natural to few You take the high road to freedom I'll take the low road to you Jack was out plowing the sound end Trying to beat the next rain Susie she'd watch through the window As a downpoar finally came He was riding the side of the terrace When the mud gave way to the wheels Tractor tipped over on Jack And the cold was all he could feel Susie ran off to the rain storm Through her arms around her true love Her tears were lost in the water Mixed in a puddle of blood He told his little wife not worry He said the soft ground has broken my fall He told her he'd love her forver And he didn't say nothing at all Susie grew old and gray headed She never did marry again Jack took the high road to freedom She took the low road to him Living comes natural to many Love comes natural to few You take the high road to freedom I'll take the low road to you
