Well, I'm no man of letters

Feel like no man at all

Well I had one to offer, an'

You just took him that's all

That you could do for another man

Who had somethin' to give

Take what the boy's got

And leave him dyin' to live



With his piece of paper

Peace of mind

If I can piece together

What you left behind



Remember the place that you

Left me that time

Well I'm callin' from there

Didn't cry, didn't die



Don't know why I believed your lie

That I heard before in the rules of the game

You can lose just the same

Well I'm still feelin' better

And I hope that it don't take too long



I heard stories about men who

Just leave and stay gone

But there's too much to live with

And there's very little wrong

Bein' satsfied, singin' on

With one more song

With my

Piece of paper . . .
