[00:34.00] Susie was a pearl of a woman
[00:41.00] Jack was a golden man
[00:48.27] She told him she'd love him forever
[00:55.07] He gave her a wedding band
[01:02.12] Their parents said they were just children
[01:09.03] "Love comes as fast as it leaves
[01:15.82] They think that they've built a foundation
[01:22.47] Till life knocks them down with a breeze"
[01:29.60] Living comes natural to many
[01:36.36] Love comes natural to few
[01:43.21] You take the high road to freedom
[01:50.13] I'll take the low road to you
[02:04.39] Jack bought a brand new tractor
[02:12.32] The bank bought him the land
[02:18.55] He said, "The work may be hard but its honest
[02:25.44] I'll pay 'em by May if I can"
[02:32.59] Sometimes they'd talk about children
[02:39.23] Names and things that they'll do
[02:45.87] "If its a girl we'll call her Joanna
[02:52.76] She'll grow up to be just like you."
[02:59.88] Living comes natural to many
[03:06.59] Love comes natural to few
[03:13.45] You take the high road to freedom
[03:20.32] I'll take the low road to you
[03:34.22] Jack was out plowing the south end
[03:40.91] Trying to beat the next rain
[03:47.78] Susie, she'd watch through the window
[03:54.44] As the downpour finally came
[03:59.81]
[04:01.44] He was riding the side of the terrace
[04:08.24] When the mud gave way to the wheel
[04:16.55] The tractor tipped over on Jack
[04:23.33] The cold was all he could feel
[04:30.34] Susie ran out through the rainstorm
[04:37.08] Threw her arms around her true love
[04:44.90] Her tears were lost in the water
[04:50.95] And mixed in a puddle of blood
[04:58.01] He told his little wife not to worry
[05:04.61] He said, "The soft ground has broken my fall."
[05:11.65] He told her he'd love her forever
[05:18.15] Then he didn't say nothing at all.
[05:24.13]
[06:03.14] Susie grew old and grey-headed
[06:10.86] She never did marry again
[06:17.86] Jack took the high road to freedom
[06:24.65] She took the low road to him
[06:31.72]
[06:38.34] Living comes natural to many
[06:45.20] Love comes natural to few
[06:52.03] You take the high road to freedom
[06:58.95] I'll take the low road to you.
[07:03.91]
