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

Well I came from Alabama

With a banjo on my knee

I'm goin' to Louisiana

My true love for to see

It rained all night the day I left

The weather it was dry

The sun so hot I froze to death

Suzanna 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 that stood beside me

through the fray

Through the midnight moon

Saw fit to light my way

Got a lot left to say

But where do I go from here

When I'm lost out on the road

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

I had a dream the other night

When everything was still

I thought I saw Suzanna

Comin' down the hill

The buckwheat cake was in her mouth

A tear was in her eye

Says I'm comin' from the south

Suzanna don't you cry

Where do I go 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

Soon we'll be in New Orleans

Then I'll look around

And when I find Suzanna

I'll fall down on the ground

And if I do not find her

Then I should surely die

And when I'm dead and buried

Suzanna don't you cry
