With Pen In Hand

With pen in hand You sign your name Today at five I'll be on that train And you'll be free And I'll be alone So alone If you think We can't find the love we once knew If you think I can't make everything up to you Then I'll be gone And you'll be on your own You'll be on your own Can you take good care of Jenny Can you take her to school everyday Can you teach her how to play All the games that little girls play Hear what I say Can you teach her how to roll up her hair Can you make sure each night that she says her prayers Well if you can do all these things Then maybe she won't miss me Maybe she won't miss me And tonight as you laid in that big lonely bed And you look at that pillow Where I laid my head With your heart on fire Will you have no desire To kiss me Or to hold me And if you can forget The good times we had If you don't think They out weigh the bad Well then go ahead Sign your name And I'll be On my way I'll be on my way --- With Pen in Hand - Sammi Smith
