Susanville Lyrics - The Vandals

With 800 pounds on 18 wheels 

After 800 miles you know how it feels 

To have your rear so numb you gotta poke it 

To see if it's still there 

Well it's one more load to one more town 

Only problem is they're all starting to sound a bit similar 

Lord knows they all look the same 

So I got some hot coffee in Furnace Creek 

About the trouble is I was never neat and I spilled it 

And my map and phone book were a blur 

But I had a girl and a job to do or was that job and a girl to do? 

I don't know I had to go and my velvet interior was a soggy mess 

Well I think I got a girl named Mary down in Susanville 

Waitin' for me to come home and make her my wife 

I know I got a load of somethin' goin' to Somewhereville 

But I can't remember which to save to save my life 

With a load to Mr. Johnson in Watsoville 

Or is that a load to Mr. Watson in Johnsonville? 

Well, anyway, after six days I don't know what or if it mattered 

Just a load of placer to Cedarville, or a load of cedar to Placerville 

Or a container full of things up to Diamond Springs 

For an indoor swap meet 

Is that a cargo of hay south to Northfork 

Some plastic forks north to Hayfork 

Or a bunch of men's nugget watches straight through to Pixley 

Hauling Apple Jacks down to Fall River Mills 

Or honor snacks up to Downieville? 

Well, the white girls are cute that I've met in Blackbute 

But I'll stick to the road and finish my beer and coffee 

Well I think I got a girl named Mary down in Susanville 

Waitin' for me to come home and make her my wife 

I know I got a load of somethin' goin' to Somewhereville 

But I can't remember which to save to save my life 

Now I am marrying Jan from Susanville 

Or am I suing Jane from Mary's ville? 

If I am I better call Ernie my attorney from Burney Falls 

Well, all I know is if I recall 

She had the longest legs and she was kinda tall 

And prettier than a catfish with its nose up against a dam 

Without a girl and some time to kill 

I ran some baby food up to Gerberville 

And took some airplane parts to Wilbur in Oreville 

Now that can't be Wright, well it's one more load one more town 

Only problem is they're all startin' to sound a bit similar 

Lord knows they all look the same 

Well I think I got a girl named Mary down in Susanville 

Waitin' for me to come home and make her my wife 

I know I got a load of somethin' goin' to Somewhereville 

But I can't remember which to save to save my life
