Susanville

Lyrics

[Verse 1] With eight hundred pounds on eighteen wheels After eighteen hundred miles, you know how it feels To have your rear so numb you gotta poke it to see if it's still there Well, it's one more load to one more town Problem is they're all starting to sound A bit similar, and Lord knows they all look the same So I got some hot coffee in Furnace Creek But the trouble is I was never neat And I spilled it and my map and phonebook were a blur But I had a girl and a job to do Or was that job and a girl to do? Well, I don't know, I had to go and my velvet interior was a soggy mess [Chorus] I think I got a girl named Mary down in Susanville Waitin' for me to come home and make her my wife I know I got a load of somethin' goin' to Somewhereville But I can't remember which to save to save my life [Verse 2] Just a load for Mr. Johnson in Watsonville Or was that Mr. Watson in Johnsonville? Well anyways, after several days I don't know what or if it mattered Just a load of cedar to Plasterville Or was that a load of plaster to Cedarville? Or a container full of things up to Diamond Springs for an indoor swap meet Was that a cargo of hay south to Northfork Or some plastic forks north to Hayfork? Or a bunch of men's nugget watches straight through to Pixley? Haulin' Apple Jacks down to Fall River Mills Or honor snacks up to Downieville Well, the white girls are cute that I've met in Black Butte But I'll stick to the road and finish my beer and coffee [Chorus] I think I got a girl named Mary down in Susanville Waitin' for me to come home and make her my wife I know I got a load of somethin' goin' to Somewhereville But I can't remember which to save to save my life [Chorus] Well, I think I got a girl named Mary down in Susanville Waitin' for me to come home and make her my wife Well, I know I got a load of somethin' goin' to Somewhereville But I can't remember which to save to save my life [Verse 3] Now I'm marrying Jane from Susanville Or am I suing Jane from Marysville? If I am I better call Ernie, my attorney from Burney Falls Well, all I know, if I recall She had the longest legs and she was kinda tall And prettier than a catfish with its nose up against the dam Without a girl and some time to kill I ran some baby food up to Gerberville Took some airplane parts to Wilbur in Oroville Now that can't be Wright Well, it's one more load one more town Only problem is they're all startin' to sound A bit similar, Lord knows they all look the same [Chorus] I think I got a girl named Mary down in Susanville Waitin' for me to come home and make her my wife I know I got a load of somethin' goin' to Somewhereville But I can't remember which to save to save my life [Chorus] I think I got a girl named Mary down in Susanville Waitin' for me to come home and make her my wife I know I got a load of somethin' goin' to Somewhereville But I can't remember which to save to save my life [Outro] I can't remember which to save my life I can't remember which to save my life I can't remember which to save my life
