Dottie West - With Pen In Hand lyrics

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 oh 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 you take good care of Jenny can you take her to school everyday

Can you teach her how to play all the games that little girls play

Now hear what I say

Can you teach her how to roll up her hair

Can you make sure each night she says her prayer

If you can do all these things then maybe she won't miss me

Maybe she won't miss me

And tonight as you lay in that big lonely bed

And you look at the pillow where I laid my head

With your heart on fire will you have no desire to hold me and to kiss me

And if you can forget the good times we've had

If you don't think our good times outweigh the bad

Well then sign your name and I'll be on my way yes I'll be on my way hmm
