Envelope

歌詞

One step up, two steps back Four good wheels, one bad track I tell you this, I miss the famine or feast At least, we got to eat ... I got one, and I lost three The lost and found was full of me What went up, came right down It's hard to grow, below the ground Oh, but sit down on the bed for a minute I got me an envelope with somethin' in it Now, close yer eyes, and open up the letter See, I got me a break that's finally gonna matter I'll finally make you proud And we'll finally leave this town I know you reap what you sow But what I don't know is, when will I show Some sign I have paid for my errors My bad seed cannot grow forever Oh, but sit down on the bed for a minute I got me an envelope with somethin' in it Now, close yer eyes, and open up the letter See, I got me a break that's finally gonna matter I'll finally make you proud And we'll finally leave this town Oh, do you ever pin your hopes On the promised land of the western coast? I daydream every day about writin' the song That'll pay our way away One for the money, one for the show One for the head, and one for the soul And one more, is all that I ask for This time, I'm makin' it last for you And you, you better ... Oh, but sit down on the bed for a minute I got me an envelope with somethin' in it Now, close yer eyes, and open up the letter See, I got me a break that's finally gonna matter I'll finally make you proud And we'll finally leave this town
