"Suzanne"

Suzanne ran away with the circus
When she was forthy-three
She misses her kids occassionally
As she swings on her trapeze
But she sure don't miss washing dishes
As she flies through the air
With the breeze in her hair
Devil may care

But you can't have everything, everything, everything
No you can't
You can't have everything, everything
Can you Suzanne?

She fell pretty hard for a carnie
On the train to Tucumcary
Where she wished that she wasn't married
If just for a night
Cause she couldn't resist how he kissed her
Just little longer
Just a little bit wronger
Than she knew was right

But you can't have everything, everything, everything
No you can't
You can't have everything, everything
Can you Suzanne?

But sometimes it's the dreams that get you through
All the hardest things you have to do

Suzanne come back home from the circus
When she was forty-four
Knowing she'd miss her family more
She let go and fell to the floor
But sometimes when she's washing dishes
At night when no one's there
She'll feel the breeze in her hair
Devil may care

But you can't have everything, everything, everything
No you can't
You can't have everything, everything
Can you Suzanne?
You can't have everything, everything, everything
No you can't
You can't have everything, everything
Can you Suzanne?
