John Fullbright - High road

Susie was a pearl of a woman
Jack was a golden man,
She told him she'd love him forever
And he gave her a wedding bend
Parents said they were just children,
Love comes as fast as it leaves
They think the day they've built the foundation
'Till life knocks it down with a breeze!
Living comes natural to many
Love comes natural to few
You take the HIGH ROAD to freedom
I'll take the LONG ROAD to you!

Jack bought a brand new tractor,
The bank bought him the land
Said the work may be hard
But it's honest,
I'll pay him by May if I can
Sometimes they talk about children
Names, and things that it'll do
If it's a girl we'll call her Johanna,
She'll grow up to be just like you
Living comes natural to many,
Love comes natural to few
You take the HIGH ROAD to freedom
I'll take the LONG ROAD to you!

Jack was out, pouting the south in
Trying to beat the next train
Susie, she'd watched through window
As down pour finally came
He was riding the side of the terrace
When the mud gave way to wheel
Tractor tipped over on Jack
The cold was all he could feel
Susie ran out to the rain storm
Threw her arms around her true love
The tears were lost in the water,
Next to a pile of blood
He told his wife not to worry
Said the soft ground is broken my fall
He told he'd loved her forever
Then he didn't say nothing at all.

Susie grew old and grey headed
She never did married again
Jack took the high road to freedom,
She took the long road to him!
Living comes natural to many
Love comes natural to few
You take the HIGH ROAD to freedom
I'll take the LONG ROAD to you!
