With pen in hand you signed your name
Today at five I'll be on that train
And you'll be free and I will be alone so alone
And if you can't forget the love we once knew
If you think I can make everything up to you
Sign your name and I'll be on my way
I'll be on my way hmm hmm
Can you take good care of Bobby
Can you take him to school everyday
Can you teach him how to catch a fish
And keep all those bullys away hear what I say
Can you teach him how to whistle a tune
Can you tell him about the Man in the Moon
If you can do these things then maybe he won't miss me
Maybe he won't miss me
And tonight when you lay in that big lonely bed
Can you look at the pillow where I laid my head
With your heart on fire will you have no desire to kiss me or to hold me
And if you can forget the things we had
If you think that the good times don't outweigh the bad
Sign your name and I'll be on my way
I'll be on my way mhm mhm
