Dear Landlord

Dear landlord

Please don't put a price on my soul

My burden is heavy

My dreams are beyond control

When that steamboat whistle blows

I'm gonna give you all I got to give

And I do hope you receive it well

Depending on the way you feel that you live

Dear landlord

Please heed these words that I speak

I know you've suffered much

But in this you are not so unique

Each of us, at times, we might work too hard

To have it too fast and too much

And anyone who fills his life up

With things he can see but he just cannot touch

Dear landlord

Please don't dismiss my case

I'm not about to argue

I'm not about to move to no other place

Each of us, he has his own special gifts

And you know this was meant to be true

And if you don't underestimate me

I won't underestimate you
