Hometown Queen

Somethin’ sad has happened
around our little town
Today they laid ol’ Suzy Parker
gently in the ground
She had no kin, except for Jim,
she called her lazy mutt
He cried all night the day she died,
along with the rest of us
Suzi had no children,
but she helped us all grow up
She was the biggest kid in Valley Ridge,
and we’re sure gonna miss’ er a lot

(CHORUS) This Hometown Queen was seventy years
past her own nineteen
We never heard an angry word,
she was happy so it seemed
One thing’s for certain,
right up until the very end
Like a mother and a sister,
true friend

I remember Billy Meyers,
back in 68,
He got lost in the Witchy Woods
south of Rainbow Lake
Suzi went on a mission,
she searched for three days straight
And she found Billy by herself
and carried him someplace safe

CHORUS
