Marty Robbins - Seventeen Years lyrics

rate me

From the little you write me<br />

I guess that you're doin' fine<br />

I suppose you're too busy<br />

To remember I'm here doin' time<br />

I doubt if you're lonely<br />

I doubt if you've cried any tears<br />

I doubt if you do any thinkin' about me<br />

While I'm doin' seventeen years<br />

<br />

If you could imagine some things<br />

That I've had to go through<br />

Perhaps you'd remember<br />

I'm doin' them all just for you<br />

But you don't see the bars<br />

You can't hear that big iron gate<br />

For you'd never forget that<br />

You'd never regret that<br />

I'm here doin' time for your sake<br />

<br />

You know I love you<br />

And that's why I'll never reveal<br />

The reason I'm stuck here<br />

You know that my lips are sealed<br />

I doubt if you're lonely<br />

I doubt if you've cried any tears<br />

I doubt if you do any thinkin' about me<br />

While I'm doin' seventeen years<br />

I doubt if you do any thinkin' about me<br />

While I'm doin' seventeen years
