Benny & Sue
by Resurrection Band

Album: Colours

Susie was a high school queen, she understood the score,
The price for popularity: ask a little more,
Went though an abortion before she was seventeen,
Then she met Benny, a drifting ex-marine.

Oh, Susie, Susie, why didn't you heed the call?
You clung to false security and in the end you lost it all, oh.

Benny rode a motorcycle with his girlfriend Sue,
Didn't know last Saturday was the last thing they'd ever do,
I read it all in the paper, over on page nine,
He lost control, he lost his life, ignored the one inside.

Benny, Benny, why didn't you heed the call?
When death came knocking you had to face it...face it after all,
Benny, Benny, the funeral is today,
Nobody knew, not even Susie or you, the price that you had to pay,
The price that you had to pay.

A year passed, and Susie sits alone with broken dreams,
High school magic memories, nothing's what it seems,
As you cry, little girl, I cry for you,
I can heal your bitterness, and heal your heartaches too.

Susie, Susie, do you hear Jesus call?
To follow sin or to follow love - the hardest choice of all,
To follow sin or to follow love - the hardest choice of all,
To follow sin or to follow love - the hardest choice of all.
