Twenty days walking so lonely and talking to myself and the rocks

And sand got me to thinking 'bout going and drinking in a tavern with a clean-shaven man 



Just when i thought all souls had been bought by the devil here long ago

There did i see when i knelt to my knee i little texas flower grow 



Black-eyed susan by the roadside blooming all yellow like sunshine

Red like wine flower like you in a desert this cruel my my you're a rare rare find 



Well my newfound friend gave my heart a mend i sang her songs of my wayward ways

When day turned to night in the crystal moonlight i confirmed her unwavering gaze 



As the days unraveled i stayed in the gravel and susan kept her eye on me

With my eye on her i felt my heart all astir with the joy of camaraderie 



Black-eyed susan by the roadside blooming all yellow like sunshine

Red like wine flower like you in a desert this cruel my my you're a rare rare find
