Lyrics

Seventeen Years

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.

From the little you write me

I guess that you're doin' fine

I suppose you're too busy

To remember I'm here doin' time

I doubt if you're lonely

I doubt if you've cried any tears

I doubt if you do any thinkin' about me

While I'm doin' seventeen years

If you could imagine some things

That I've had to go through

Perhaps you'd remember

I'm doin' them all just for you

But you don't see the bars

You can't hear that big iron gate

For you'd never forget that

You'd never regret that

I'm here doin' time for your sake

You know I love you

And that's why I'll never reveal

The reason I'm stuck here

You know that my lips are sealed

I doubt if you're lonely

I doubt if you've cried any tears

I doubt if you do any thinkin' about me

While I'm doin' seventeen years

I doubt if you do any thinkin' about me

While I'm doin' seventeen years
