lyrics

Susie didn't want anyone to know she's on the run
Susie didn't want anyone to know she had a gun
Susie passed a hi-po on the side of the road
Pulling someone over in that Michigan snow
Wishing that she could just turn around and go home

When Susie was a kid no one ever was around
Her momma took to pills and her daddy left town
Susie fell in with the wrong kind of crowd
For a little girl with a big ass loud mouth
But that's what you get when no one will help you out

Susie took some money that she knew wasn't hers
Susie took some money that she knew would get her burned
Then she headed off for that Flickertail State
Where no one knew her face and no one knew her name
Just hoping she didn't end up at the bottom of a lake

I wonder if she ever made that Michigan line
Susie disappeared like a wrinkle in time
I wonder if she thought it was worth in the end
I wonder what she thought right before they threw her in
I wonder if she held her breath or just let it in
