lyrics

Everybody knows not to mess around
With a one-horse woman in a one man town
Bobby was kid with a messed up mind
He shot somebody and he did some time
Suzilee was only seventeen
but her legs were long and her body lean
She had a pistol-packin' poppa in his prime
She had a pill-poppin mama
But, oh, Suzi was fine

These girls don't mean no harm -
It's just what they do
You'll find yourself torn apart
By the time they're through

When Suzi's father found out what was going on
He said, Oh, that boy ain't gonna make it home
Words were said as a crowd gathered around
and the men took to fighting as the sun went down
Bobby lie there in a pool of blood
He said, Oh my God, what have I done?
Tell me what a poor boy is supposed to do
when there's no one to cry when his life is through?
Bobby closed his eyes for the last time
and little Suzilee, she kept on crying

These girls don't mean no harm -
It's just what they do
You'll find yourself torn apart
By the time they're through
