Chords in this song
Strum
D-DU-UDU
The hoods are up on Pine Street, rearends lifted, too
The great-grandsons of General Robert E. Lee
are makin' love with a little help from STP
Their women on the porches, comparin' alibis
(E- - riff)
Greasy eggs & bacon, bumper stickers aimed to start a fight
Folk in wrecks, confederate caps, if you want some shine well
you can always find some more
but what I remember most, is the color of Susie's door
And Susie says she's up there, cutting carrots still
Susie says she's missing me
so I'm missing, Oregon Hill
(E- - riff)
A river to the south, to wash away all sin
A college to the east of us, to learn where sin begins
A graveyard to the west of it all
The child may soon be lying in it
Cause to the north there is a prison,
which I've come to call my home
but come Monday morning, no country song,
will sing me home again
Susie says she's up there, cutting carrots still
Susie says she's missing me, so I'm missing, Oregon Hill
(E- - riff)
Sunday morning, 8 a.m., sirens fill the air
Sounds like someone made the river
Sounds like someone being born again
But me, I'm just lyin' here in Susie's bed
Baptists celebrating with praises to the lord
Rednecks doin' it with gin
Me and Susie, we're just celebrating, the joys of sleepin' in,
because tomorrow, I'll be home again.
Susie says she'll wait there,
cutting carrots by the window sill
Susie says always think of me,
when you think of, Oregon Hill
