Hayes Carll

The Letter

I meet some wild people out here

Those who are pretendin' and others more sincere

A few that outright scare me and ones that I hold dear

I meet some wild people out here

You won't believe the things I have done

Racin' down this highway like a bullet from a gun

This life is like to kill me but it sure has been fun

You won't believe the things I have done

Birdy says, I outta go home

I swear I tried to reach you but the cop took my phone

Them Tulsa women's nicer when they leave me alone

Birdy says, I outta go home

I don't know how I got this way

Burnin'g thorough my nights and wastin' my days

So many people talking, I forgot what to say

I don't know how I ended up this way

I meet some wild people out here, wild people

Those who are pretendin' and others more sincere

A few that outright scare me and ones that I hold dear

I meet some wild people out here

I meet some wild people out here

I hope that you sleep well tonight

Know that I am dreamin' of you, hope you're alright

I'm gonna be there come dawn's early light

I hope that you sleep well tonight
