John Fullbright - High Road lyrics

Susie was a pearl of a woman Jack was a golden man, She told him she'd love him forever And he gave her a wedding bend Parents said they were just children, Love comes as fast as it leaves They think the day they've built the foundation 'Till life knocks it 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 LONG ROAD to you! Jack bought a brand new tractor, The bank bought him the land Said the work may be hard But it's honest, I'll pay him by May if I can Sometimes they talk about children Names, and things that it'll do If it's a girl we'll call her Johanna, 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 LONG ROAD to you! Jack was out, pouting the south in Trying to beat the next train Susie, she'd watched through window As down pour finally came He was riding the side of the terrace When the mud gave way to wheel Tractor tipped over on Jack The cold was all he could feel Susie ran out to the rain storm Threw her arms around her true love The tears were lost in the water, Next to a pile of blood He told his wife not to worry Said the soft ground is broken my fall He told he'd loved her forever Then he didn't say nothing at all. Susie grew old and grey headed She never did married again Jack took the high road to freedom, She took the long road to him! Living comes natural to many Love comes natural to few You take the HIGH ROAD to freedom I'll take the LONG ROAD to you!
