Gonna Write A Letter 歌词

I'm gonna write a letter, gonna mail it today Just as soon as I think of the words to say I've been needing to send it for nearly a year There's a woman back home who's waiting to hear I meant to tell you, dear Susannah I'm a long way from Louisiana and you And I know I promised to be returning Just as soon as I've saved the money I'm earning for you But I'm married to twins and I'm living in Peru Well, I'm gonna write a letter Get it off my mind But you know the words Are so hard to find Sitting, thinking with my pen in my hand How can I make her understand? I meant to tell you, dear Julia I'm a long way from the States, mosquitoes and you I'll send some money to help with the kids I'd like to thank you for all that you did It's true Louisiana, and I'm with Susannah, too Got me a letter, it arrived today The words I read just blew me away I don't believe I've ever felt so low How could Susannah treat me so? She said, "I meant to tell you, my sweet honey I'm a long way from your love, your money and you Please don't think me under And I do believe you'll understand me too I got a bar and grill with Phil in Kalamazoo
