A                                             E
This old bus could drive itself along this highway
      D                                       A
But this old guitar’ll need a tune before the show
                                       E
I just wish you could be here right beside me
   D                               A
It gets lonesome being out on the road

               D                E        A
But this LA freeway is always good for dying
    D               E         A
Oh Sis she done rosined up her bow
                      Bm            D
Sometimes a song is only good for crying
      Bm                     D
When leaving’s a long way to go

A                      D
Susanna don’t you cry babe
A                         D
It won’t be long til I’m home
   A                   D
Susanna don’t you cry babe
   A                               D
It won’t be long til I’m gone

Verse:
D                          E           A
Townes is up there waiting up to greet us
                 D         E                A
With that mischief grin and mad dog margaritas
A      Bm                             D
He needed you, but did he ever need us?
    Bm                Bm                      D
Don’t matter now, he’s got you, and I’m on my way



D                                     A
Cuz this LA freeway is only good for dying
     D                     E              A
I’m hitting this soldier’s joy hard as I can
        Bm                                  D
Gotta little luck left but ain’t for lack of trying
           Bm                       D
Gotta get back to being in your arms again



A                      D
Susanna don’t you cry babe
A                         D
It won’t be long til I’m home
A                       D
Susanna don’t you cry babe
A                      D
It won’t be long til I’m gone
