lyrics

Born down in south Louisiana in a county close to New Orleans
All-American teen, graduation queen, straight out of the cover of a magazine
Guys tried to take you out on dates and you just told them they would have to wait
You’d rather spend your days staying up ‘til late and-a-listenin’ to your records play

And the people called you
Deadhead Suzie, a teenage freak in love with music
Deadhead Suzie, and all you wanna do is dance

Ever since you was a little baby California was on your head
You dreamt of incense smell, flowers in your hair and dancing barefoot to The Grateful Dead
Teachers said that hippies were no good and that your music was a lousy mess
But every night in bed you’d hear Jerry sing and fantasize about a better place

And you dreamt of being
Deadhead Suzie, a teenage freak in love with music
Deadhead Suzie, and all you wanna do is dance

Left home the week after your birthday, one way ticket on a Greyhound bus
Daddy sighed and Momma cried as they waved their little girl goodbye
Hound dropped you off in San Francisco and you headed to the Fillmore show
The band went on, broke into Casey Jones and ever since you have been on the bus

Now you’re happy being Deadhead Suzie, a teenage freak in love with music
Deadhead Suzie, and all you wanna do is dance

Everybody knows you’re
Deadhead Suzie, swingin’ to American Beauty
Deadhead Suzie, and all you wanna do is dance

Oh how I long for this album in vinyl format! Such smoothness. Such warmth. Such execution. This music begs to be taken along and woven into memories. Everyone I’ve shared this album with has loved it. The music speaks far and wide. Shouting out to a fellow follower, Brian Lehmann, for his excellent taste in music. If not for him, I likely would have never stumbled upon this absolute gem! Plinchmo Larduktin

so why do i love this Lp so much .. it takes back to the early 90s it has that Uk indie sound with a dazzling clear crisp production sound .its Ahead phone dream land up load .. It picks you up takes you on a journey through the late 60s while spinning through the 90s crashing into the indie baggy sound then brings back home again .. Sublime .. steviemoore
