Pierces her brains out
Like a growing bullet
Again with the yelling
There was no telling
What she did
When she ran away there
A good girl, Susie was
Smoke in her hair
Susie the smoker
Made herself a fool
Oh, she couldn't tell
If she was cool
Oh, baby, the damage
Oh baby, gone
She's a child
What could've she done
Susie, my dear Susie
A Laredo lass
Susie, why Susie
Enjoyment wont last
No good it was
She would run away
But who could resist
Acting older than your age
Susie the smoker
Made herself a fool
Oh, she couldn't tell if she was cool
Oh, baby, the damage
Oh, baby, gone
She's a child
What could've she done
She was a jester
A painted face
For she'd share your smoke
It'd stick in the lace
Left her to fester
But that was all that Susie knew
Rotten lungs, a soft heart
The only comfort she grew
Susie the smoker
Made herself a fool
Oh, she couldn't tell
If she was cool
Oh, Susie the smoker
Made herself a fool
Oh she couldn't tell
If she was
Cool
