lyrics

Six String Sue
Well everybody better gather ‘round
I got a sound bound to make you bounce
about a girl I knew
before I ever met you
my baby six string sue

Well I’ve had eyes for her
since seven years old
since our first date
in the department store
I remember it
like it was yesterday

She was sitting on a box
with her cold steel locks
oh that hour-glass body
solid as a rock
I had her in my sights
from at least a block away

She was with a couple of friends
a chord and an amp
and she was all plugged in
and ready to jam
I took her in my arms
and we began to dance

Oh six string sue
you know exactly what to do
to change my mood
you pick me up you put me down
you make me move
oh six string sue I think
that I’m in love with you

I took her home on the very first night
and everything was going just fine
she was mine to keep
whether strong or weak
oh I knew she would never leave

She was pretty but she had an attitude
slightly bipolar always shifting moods
she had a knack for sometimes
acting downright rude

She would talk right back
or make you real relaxed
every now and again
she liked a little love tap
but watch out when shes stressed
because this girl snaps

Oh six string sue
you know exactly what to do
to change my mood
you pick me up you put me down
you make me move
oh six string sue I think
that I’m in love with you

well that was seventeen years ago
since we met in that department store
from the moment I laid eyes on her
I knew we’d be forever more
That was seventeen years ago

Oh six string sue I know
that im in love with you
