Jackie Greene - Write A Letter Home lyrics

rate me

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 theres 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

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 and 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
