With Pen in Hand

(Bobby Goldsboro)



With pen in hand you signed your name

Today at five I'll be on that train

And you'll be free and I will be alone so alone

If you think we can't find the love we once knew

If you think I can make everything up to you.



Then I'll be gone and you'll be on your own, you'll be on your own

Can take good care of Danny can you take him to school everyday

Can you teach him how to catch a fish

And keep all those bullys away, here what I say.



Can you teach him how to whistle a tune

Can you tell him about the Man in the Moon

If you can do these things then maybe he won't

Miss me, maybe he won't miss me.



And tonight as you lay in that big lonely bed

Can you look at the pillow where I laid my head

And with your heart on fire will you have no desire

To kiss me and hold me.



And if you can forget the good times we had

If you can think that the good times won't outweigh the bad

Then sign your name and I'll be on my way

I'll be on my way. hmm. hmm...
