Suzie Q

[Verse 1]
Some folks wear their armor in plain sight
Sharp tongue loaded, ready for a fight
I walked up with a grin across my face
You said "Oh great, another swingin' dick up in this place"
But I saw right through that tough girl show
A heart of gold was shining down below

[Chorus]
Suzie Q, you can talk that talk
Hard as a gravel road, you walk that walk
But the whole world's brighter 'cause of you
Peace and joy in everything you do

[Verse 2]
You keep a pocket full of little stones
Purple, green and blue for folks you've never known
I just laugh and call 'em your fuckin' rocks
But they open hearts like keys in locks
A stranger's frown turns to a smile
And the world gets softer for a while

[Chorus]
Suzie Q, you can talk that talk
Hard as a gravel road, you walk that walk
But the whole world's brighter 'cause of you
Peace and joy in everything you do

[Bridge]
Everywhere we go, someone stops us on the street
Pulls a shiny stone out, says she made my day
I was lost and low till she put it in my hand
Now I see the whole world different, and I understand

[Verse 3]
So when the days get heavy on your soul
Let the love you scattered find its way back home
You're my best friend and my better half
My peace, my joy, the reason that I laugh

[Chorus]
Suzie Q, you can talk that talk
Hard as a gravel road, you walk that walk
But the whole world's brighter 'cause of you
Thank you, girl, for everything you do

[Outro]
Keep this song, it's my rock for you
Hand-picked with love, my Suzie Q
