The Letter

Doubt I'll ever put this on a record It's more of a letter to you I remember all them nights we spent together I remember every single I love you Hell, you're better off without me But I'll always have you In my heart and in my memory And I'll keep you there 'til my days are few So lay your head down on his pillow Let him hold you tight 'Cause he didn't hurt you the way I did And I'll just wish I was him tonight And I heard you took up drinkin' I guess you learned that from me I was always gonna quit somehow When I started my family We were on the verge of that happiness Why did it have to end so soon? Doubt I'll put this on a record But it'll sound just right in a smoke filled room So lay your head down on his pillow Let him hold you tight 'Cause he didn't hurt you the way I did And I'll just wish I was him tonight Wish I had a chance to go back And if I did, I'd make it right But I don't expect you to believe that After all, you're twice shy And I'm still standin' on the fightin' side of time So lay your head down on his pillow Let him hold you tight 'Cause he didn't hurt you the way I did And I'll just wish I was him tonight
