lyrics

Suzie and me we sure have fun
we do a lot of things you might call dumb
we're having a blast just raising our glass
and if you don't like it, I didn't ask
when I'm with Suzie, we sure have a real good time
we drink cheap tequila from a brown paper bag
She ain't a lot of lookin' but she ain't no drag
She's just gettin' hot about eleven o' clock
and it might seem to you like we don't know when to stop but
when I'm with Suzie, we sure have a real good time
when I'm with Suzie I do what I want
I do what I want and I take what I need and
she does what she wants, does what she wants with me
you know some of us have a little more sense but then
some of us haven't got a clue
and when I'm alone I find myself asking, what would Suzie do?
I take her downtown cruisin' looking to park
cause everybody knows what she do in the dark
you tell her she's fine, she doesn't give you the time 'cause when the cruisers are cruisin' you'd better get in line
when I'm with Suzie, we sure have a real good time
when I'm with Suzie I do what I want
I do what I want and I take what I need and
she does what she wants, does what she wants with me
you know some of us have a little more sense but then
some of us haven't got a clue
and when I'm alone I find myself asking, what would Suzie do?

Excellent. You sound so different. A bit Elvis Costello and Elliot Smith in there. An urban album. Great clean sound. Love Holidays. More, please? Roy Greer

J.T.
by Steve Earle & The Dukes

supported by 5 fans who also own “When I'm with Suzie (I Do What I Want)”

The best I've heard from Steve Earle in a while. The songs have a subtler, earthier tone, tastefully rendered in authentic sounding country/blues/bluegrass stylings. 'J.T' reminds of earlier records like 'Feel Alright' or 'Train a Comin'. Deep grief, love and compassion is felt on the final track, the only composition from Steve, seemingly written for his son. The rest, composed by JT, do confirm what a great songwriter he really was. tideracer
