Looking For Suzanne Bob is a trucker out in Phoenix, He drives that 40 once a week at least, And lately when he's headed out to Tenessee He thinks about the life he left back East. She was two years old, the Christmas Eve they left him For reasons, he didn't fully understand But now her memory's pulling like a magnet So last week he started looking for Suzanne He remembers that her eyes are blue or olive green After 20 years go by, it's hard to say And then his sister Peggy sends a photograph Taken down in Texas just last May He swears she looks a whole look like her mother, The way that grown up daughters often can So he tapes her picture sqaure upon his dashboard, Picks up another load. And starts looking for Suzanne When there are pieces of our lives Left unattended Then the scars from broken hearts Go unmended Until the feelings we'd forgotten, Overtake us like a flood That's how it always is With flesh and blood That's how it has to be With flesh and blood Today he stops his run just east of Nashville Puts a quarter from his pocket, in a phone He dials the number, information gave him Then says a prayer that she will be at home After several rings someone finally answers His heart is in his throat, sweat's in his hands He says "I wonder, can you help me, I'm 20 years to late, But My name is Bob and I'm looking for Suzanne" And in his pass, he hangs up the receiver At little less a father, more a man Then he walks down to the corner Where he'll meet her And spends one last moment looking for Suzanne When there are pieces of our lives Left unattended Then the scars from broken hearts Go unmended Until the feelings we'd forgotten Overtake us like a flood That's how it always is With flesh and blood That's how it has to be With flesh and blood |
