🎶We never saw 'em holdin' hands, or kissin' all that much, but they must've dug each other, well heck there were five of us. Momma held fort down, daddy went to work, we never thought about what she meant to him, or what he meant to her. Sometimes on Saturday they'd crank up that stereo, grab a stack of old 45 records, and we'd watch 'em put on a show🎶
 
🎶When the needle hit the vinyl, momma's hair came down, daddy came unwound. In their own world, just a boy and girl, we couldn't believe our eyes, how they came alive. When the needle hit the vinyl🎶
 
🎶Five kids on a worn out couch we didn't say a word, daddy put on "my girl" and he sang it right to her. Momma she was glowin' Daddy made the perfect moves, neither one of them seemed like the mom and dad we knew. They both looked younger as they went round and round, under the spell of that poppin' cracklin' sound🎶
 
🎶 Well, my daddy left home when I was three
Didn't leave very much to my mom and me
Except this old guitar and an empty bottle of booze
Now I don't blame him 'cause he run and hid
But the meanest thing that my daddy ever did
Was before he left, he went and named me Sue

🎶 Well, he must've thought that it was quite a joke
And I got a lot of laughs from a lots of folk
Seems I had to fight my whole life through
Some gal would giggle and I'd turn red
And some guy'd laugh and I'd bust his head
I tell you, life ain't easy for a boy named Sue
