Where Do I Go From Here (A Trucker's Song)

[Verse 1] Well I came from Alabama With a banjo on my knee I'm going to Louisiana My true love for to see It had rained all night the day I left The weather it was dry The sun so hot I froze to death Susanna don't you cry I got a long way to go I sure feel it now Deep down in these dusty clothes Through another town Backed up with capricious souls I got a long way to go I got a lot left to say To the empty seat The stood beside me through the fray To the midnight moon Who saw it fit to light my way I got a lot left to say [Chorus] But where do I got from here When I'm lost out on the road And the way's not clear To find my way back home I need to hear The only voice that leads me on So I can find my way back to you [Verse 2] I had a dream the other night When everything was still I thought I saw Susanna Coming down the hill A buckwheat cake was in her mouth A tear was in her eye Says I'm coming from the south Susanna don't you cry [Chorus] [Outro] Soon we'll be in New Orleans Then I'll look around And when I find Susanna I'll fall down on the ground And if I do not find her Then I shall surely die And when I'm dead and buried Susanna Don't you cry for me
