Gonna Write A Letter by Waylon Jennings
Gonna Write A Letter lyrics
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
