Write a Letter Home
Lyricist:Jackie Greene
Cigarettes are burning down to my fingers In my motel, where the smell still lingers From the night before with a ten dollar whore Who didn't even know my name
The TV says nothing, nothing to me And I feel so low in the highest degree Like a tree with no root, like a gun that don't shoot Like a dog outside on a chain
And there's no use for me to sit here an moan Many a man has been more alone And I might feel better if I write a letter If I write a letter home
Yeah, I heard the news 'bout that ol gang of mine They're all getting married, they're all doing fine They're all getting older and needin' a shoulder That's easy to lean on
But as for me, I'm half way to Denver How long has it been? I just can't remember Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com It all starts to fade 'cause the life that I've made Is the life that I dream on
And there's no use for me to sit here an moan Many a man has been more alone And I might feel better if I write a letter If I write a letter home
Now I can't help but to be who I am Though I've let many women slip from my hands I've let them all go, why? I don't know It just made me feel like a man
But what I know now, though it may be too late You've got to love someone and let go the weight You've got to make do when you find love that's true This now I understand
And there's no use for me to sit here an moan Many a man has been more alone And I might feel better if I write a letter If I write a letter home, if I write a letter home
