lyrics
Got a pocket full of nothing new
every sun comes up the same
Drag your toes through the painted field
til you hear them calling out your name
Hanging out with jokers and fools
hoping that you’ll look like a king
Clench your knuckles white but you missed
that your fists can’t hold a thing
Gonna write you a letter
Gonna lay it lay it out line by line
Gonna Write you a letter
Oh but I’m gonna send it this time
I keep moving and I don’t look back
But I’m getting further from myself
Were I to find the thing I seek
I don’t think that I could tell
Looking back I can’t spot the time
When my bend became a break
Now every little thing I do
is for someone else’s sake
Gonna write you a letter
Gonna lay it lay it out line by line
Gonna Write you a letter
Oh but I’m gonna send it this time
every sun comes up the same
Drag your toes through the painted field
til you hear them calling out your name
Hanging out with jokers and fools
hoping that you’ll look like a king
Clench your knuckles white but you missed
that your fists can’t hold a thing
Gonna write you a letter
Gonna lay it lay it out line by line
Gonna Write you a letter
Oh but I’m gonna send it this time
I keep moving and I don’t look back
But I’m getting further from myself
Were I to find the thing I seek
I don’t think that I could tell
Looking back I can’t spot the time
When my bend became a break
Now every little thing I do
is for someone else’s sake
Gonna write you a letter
Gonna lay it lay it out line by line
Gonna Write you a letter
Oh but I’m gonna send it this time
