Lyrics

SO LONG AGO ? MUSIC AND LYRICS BY JIM PREHODA


1
Susie readies her face in the mirror for a life that?s starting at 10

With her painted smile and her long thin tie she?s sure to get lots of men.

So she call a cabby to take her downtown and she tips him with her smile

Another night in those long hot city lights to prove that she?s got style

Chorus
Cause she?s a new wave kind of Rock and Roller with her pop and punk and dreams to mold her

I wish to God that I had shown her the way ? so long ago?so long ago?so long ago

2
Susie Goes to the disco dressed up to a tee

With her Gucci eyes and her Vanderbilt smile she?s where she wants to be

She orders up her exotic drink and she tries to punch it down

She throws a fit when it tastes like shit, but still she lays her money down

Chorus

Cause she?s a new wave kind of Rock and Roller with her pop and punk and dreams to mold her

I wish to God that I had shown her the way?so long ago?so long ago.. so long ago

Bridge
Long ago, just a song ago, a girl with a simple flair. She stole my heart and kept it in a rhyme

But the rhyme has broken and the rhythm has changed, she?s dancing to a different beat

And the heart she kept so safe and warm has been left out in the street

Chorus

Cause she?s a new wave kind of Rock and Roller with her pop and punk and dreams to mold her

I wish to God that I had shown her the way?so long ago?so long ago?..so long ago.. to end..
