about

Written for a friend who has survived two bouts with breast cancer.

lyrics

It's five o'clock on a Friday and I can see that she is home
standing on the back porch and talkin on the phone
She's taken off her hat, her hair's just starting to show
She's a hell of a fighter and she's my hero and I say
-CH-
Oh Susanna, girl you've done it again.

It's the second time walkin with the devil, she's runnin a faster mile
burnin up all the bad guy's with chemo and a smile
and I never mention it, hell she don't even know
She's my next door neighbor and she's my hero
-CH-
-BR-
Sometimes we worry bout things so small
lose sight of the magic of it all
Sometimes life's so sweet and fragile and it's your turn
to take it on
solo
Maybe I'll buy a six pack and drink it in her back yard
seems like a good thing to do when life is hitting you hard
And we'll toast to her hair and garden they're both just starting to grow
and we'll toast to Susanna cause she's our hero and we'll all sing
-CH-
Oh Susanna, girl you've done it again
Oh Susanna, girl you've done it again
Cause she's my hero, she don't even know
She's my hero, she don't know
Susanna
