Sammi Smith - With Pen in Hand lyrics

rate me

(Bobby Goldsboro)

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...
