lyrics

well, oh susana- don't you cry for me
i'm not the one living with pain, abuse and misery
why won't you just let it? when are you ever gonna get it?
o susana you won't regret it- won't you come away with me

well there's a train leaving for Juarez- later tonight
i just need to get a little bit more cash- and we can be there by first light
i'd do anything for you, o susana I adore you, all heaven implores you
won't you come away with me, my love

take that ride, into the setting sun

don't lose your nerve- even if you feel that car starting to swerve, every one of us is going to get what we deserve

oh susana it's time to get going- you're belly is starting to showing
and now my brother's suspicion, is like a tornado blowing
i'd do anything for you, o susana I adore you, all heaven implores you
won't you come away with me, my love

take that ride, into the setting sun
ain't that right, your love is a setting sun
