Write me a letter

If it's the last thing you do

I feel better

Hearing some words from you

I should have listened

When you said I wouldn't be

Some kind of hero

I would be only me

You should have told me

There was so better than I

I'm learning the hard way

That what I've got no one would buy

The West Coast was hard I was crazy

To think I could beat

All of those men who spent

All of their lifes on the street

I was trying to write a hit song

But the words just came out wrong

And I wouldn't have tried to cry if only I knew

I was trying to write a hit tune

Though I have a bullet real soon

But it ain't that way

And I'm begging to stay with you

Send me a postcard

Telephone me if you can

I'm back in the same place

Still the same kind of man

Don't you remember you said you'd be waiting for me

I'm taking the next plane back to reality

I was trying to write a hit song

But the words just came out wrong

And I wouldn't have tried to cry if only I knew

I was trying to write a hit tune

Thought I have a bullet real soon

But it ain't that way

And I'm begging to stay with you

I was trying to write a hit song

But the words, they came out wrong

And I wouldn't have tried to cry if only if only, if only I knew

I was trying to write a hit tune

Thought I have a bullet real soon

But it ain't that way

And I'm begging to stay with you
