Rich Mullins What Susan Said lyrics

Two lonely-eyed boys in a pick-up truck
And they're drivin' through the rain and the heat
And their skin's so sweaty, they both get stuck
To the old black vinyl seats
And it's Abbott and Costello meet Paul and Silas
It's the two of us together and we're puttin' on the mileage

And we both feel lost but I remember what Susan said
How love is found in the things we've given up
More than in the things that we have kept
And ain't it funny what people say, and ain't it funny what people write?
And ain't it funny, how it hits you so hard in the middle of the night?
And if your home is just another place where you're a stranger
And far away is just somewhere you've never been
I hope that you'll remember, I was your friend

Two full grown men in a huddle of kids
And they're trying to help them to believe
What is too good to be real but is more real than the air they breathe

And it's Wally and the Beaver, David and Jonathan
It's the Love of Jesus puttin' on flesh and bone

And we both feel lost but I remember what Susan said
How love is found in the things we've given up
More than in the things that we have kept
And ain't it funny what people say, and ain't it funny what people write?
And ain't it funny how it hits you so hard in the middle of the night?
And I remember what Susan said

And ain't it funny what people say, and ain't it funny what people write?
And ain't it funny how it hits you so hard in the middle of the night?
And if your home is just another place where you're a stranger
And far away is just somewhere you've never been
I hope that you'll remember, I was your friend
I hope you have the strength to just remember, I'm still your friend
