Suitcase Sarah

Lyrics

[Verse]
Sarah Boone had a wild streak, don't you know,
She zips him in a suitcase, keeps it on the down low.
In the quiet of the night under southern sky,
Her boyfriend found out how tight a suitcase can be, oh my.

[Verse 2]
They were playing silly games, took a twist so strange,
Loving laughter turned to something out of range.
In that old suitcase, zipped up tight and sealed,
She said, "Stay put, darling," as reality reeled.

[Chorus]
Suitcase Sarah in the moonlit night,
Playing games with shadows, oh what a sight.
Down by the old oak tree where secrets are kept,
Her boyfriend in the baggage, while the crickets wept.

[Verse 3]
He thought it was a joke, couldn't believe his fate,
Trapped in leather confines, hope arriving late.
Sarah smiled a coy smile, bit her lip just so,
Freedom's a funny thing when love's the show.

[Verse 4]
Neighbors caught the whispers, tales began to spin,
Of Suitcase Sarah and the trouble she got in.
In the southern heat, slow blues played its tune,
Life got complicated under that G major moon.

[Bridge]
Love's a bag of tricks, can't predict its course,
Sometimes it's gentle, sometimes it's force.
Sarah learned her lesson on a summer night,
That freedom's treasured like the stars so bright.
