Now here's a pic_-ture_ of_ me_ writing you a love letter_
To make me feel___ better_ 'cause I'm so f ar_ fro m_ home| _
_ |
Now it seems_ like_ forever __ since the last time_ I saw you_
And I'd sure like to call __ you__ 'cause I feel so__ a-a_- _lone_ _ _ |
_ _ | _ _ _ | _ _
Now it's a nother co-o-old__ city_ but the same_ old_ hotel room_
They all look the same_ ___ to me_ af - ter_ a _ w| hile_ _ |
A bed and a window_ __ over some_ dirty alley_
Looking on_ to the streets ___ meeting no- b o-o-o_-d y's s _mile_ _ _
Now every tel__- lephone_ says_ "Hold the line"_
Like the preachers did when I-i_ was just_ a kid| __
_ _ | _ _ _
And it's strange how it still_ touches me__ after all this time_
They said_ " Keep your light_ shining brightly"_
And I just can't take it lightly_
I'm still try___ _ _-ing to find it_
| _ _ _ | _ _ _ | _ _ _ | _ _ _ |
| _ _ _ | _ | _ | _ _ _ |
| _ _ _ | _ _ _ | _ _ _ | _ _ _ |
| _ _ _ | _ | _ _ _
Now every e__- vening brings_ another show__
To empty faces screaming o_-ver too much_ | _beer_
_ _ | _ _ _
And what they find_ to talk about_ I guess I'll_ never ever know _
But I'm_ leaving to morrow and I don't re gret it_
Just one more town and then I_ can for get_
It's a pic_-ture_ of me_ writing you-ou_ a love letter_
To make me feel___ better_ 'cause I've_ been_ fee_ -li | ng_ low_
_ |
Hey_ it seems_ like_ fore ver__ since the la-a-ast__ time I saw you_
But it won't be_ much longer_ ___ _ now_ look out__ honey_
You know I'm_ coming on_ | _ho-o-o _ _ | me____ _ _ _ | _ _ _ | _ _ _
