So Long to the Headstrong

This morning I received air mail letter 3 from my connection overseas.

I pulled the paper back,

You begin your attack and it means:

Of all the places I laid down my head,

I think of two I regret

Love isn't easy my baby you're sayin today

But tell Mr. shoemaker I'll be away

On a rocket or a comet or the dock of the bay

On a continental steam ship sailin away

On a one way ticket on a 1st class airplane

I wanna know what you're thinkin about

Don't just let me go...

Four hundred days have passed since I've heard from you last

I'm getting worried, I admit

Maybe it's nothing much

There's nicer shores in sight

Oh I just don't know

Of all the places I laid down my head I think of two I regret

Love isn't easy my baby we'd tell you today

But tell Mr. shoemaker I'll be away

On a rocket or a comet or the dock of the bay

On a continental steam ship sailin away

On a one way ticket on a 1st class airplane

I wanna know what you're thinkin about

Don't just let me go...

I'm sayin so long

I want my baby back

I know it's hard to see

Why she's in love with me

I'm sayin so long

I want my baby back

I know it's hard to see

Why she's in love with me

So long to the headstrong

I wasn't qualified to lead that city life

That's all I have to say
