Back in grade school we called her Black Eyed Susan And the name just stuck She bought a one way ticket to Reno. To try her luck [ Chorus] Like a wildflower, she was born to roam Drifting from the place that she'd called home Nothing left for her in Chippewa Falls Black Eyed Susan , she goes where the wind calls Whatever happens Go with the flow Lady luck had some plans of her own A life left behind, and heading out alone Trading broken promises for a soul that's free Lady luck is a fickle mistress indeed They called her Black Eyed Susan So she put it all on black Win, lose, or draw There's no going back Spin the wheel, roll the dice Taking a chance on a brand new life No going back to Chippewa [Chorus] Like a wildflower, she was born to roam Drifting from the place that she'd called home Nothing left for her in Chippewa Falls Black Eyed Susan , she goes where the wind calls Whatever happens Go with the flow In Reno, it hardly ever rains And in Reno, it hardly ever snows It's nice but nothing like the Wisconsin she knows That little ball, it landed on black But she's not gonna stay And she's not going back They always say you should quit while you're ahead So she cashed in her chips and hit the road instead In a place like this, Chances are, you're about to lose Free to stay Free to leave Free to choose She's a wildflower Free to keep roaming Maybe someplace closer to home She always wanted to see Wyoming When you start with little you got little to lose Whatever happens Go with the flow Go with the flow
