Ghost Town Jenny Suwanee lyrics

'Distance is the one thing that will cure my disease'
that's what she said to me
my feet have learned many a road
they know how to move, but not where to go

But tonight I'm on my bended knees
this place I've tamed no longer speaks me to
it just whispers long and low
your gifts will take you where you need to go

Suwanee, go on and carry me away from here
Suwanee, I cannot leave here of my own accord
Whoever brought me here is gonna have to take me home


These times they give my feet such a longing for distance
but I ain't got no way to go, my harbor is shipless
but wherever you go, there you are
distance ain't no cure for a broken heart
no medicine wheel no snake oil cure
will dissipate the longing for home
in your bones

Suwanee, go on and carry me away from here
Suwanee, I cannot leave here of my own accord
Whoever brought me here is gonna have to take me home
