Scribbled Down Drunk (But Posted Sober)

Postmark meant it was a rainy day She opened the envelope anyway She read the paper with a heartfelt sigh She was already crying and she didn't know why It was Hurricane Utah way back when She didn't know or care about men In each endeavour she scored ten Once she was the victim of her poisoned pen It was scribbled down drunk but posted sober All tethered up with hopes and fears On the stamp was a picture of Elvis Even he couldn't help to stop those tears Then she went to college in Salt Lake City She was surrounded m a million books Irish poems to William Shakespeare She kept her counsel and she kept her looks It was scribbled down drunk but posted sober All tethered up with hopes and fears On the stamp was a picture of Elvis Even he couldn't help to stop those tears No she walks into school with a gun in her handbag She dreams of a time when it all made sense She's never going back to Hurricane Utah To the tree with the swing and the picket fence It was scribbled down drunk but posted sober All tethered up with hopes and fears On the stamp was a picture of Elvis Even he couldn't help to stop those tears It was scribbled down drunk but posted sober All tethered up with hopes and fears On the stamp was a picture of Elvis Even he couldn't help to stop those tears
