Lyrics

Dear Landlord

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Dear landlord,

Please don't put a price on my soul.

My burden is heavy,

My dreams are beyond control.

When that steamboat whistle blows,

I'm gonna give you all I got to give,

And I do hope you receive it well,

Dependin' on the way you feel that you live.

Dear landlord,

Please heed these words that I speak.

I know you've suffered much,

But in this you are not so unique.

All of us, at times, we might work too hard

To have it too fast and too much,

And anyone can fill his life up

With things he can see but he just cannot touch.

Dear landlord,

Please don't dismiss my case.

I'm not about to argue,

I'm not about to move to no other place.

Now, each of us has his own special gift

And you know this was meant to be true,

And if you don't underestimate me,

I won't underestimate you.
