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
