With Pen In Hand

Goldsboro Bobby

With pen in hand you sign your name
Today at five, I'll be on that train
And you'll be free and I will be alone
So alone

If you think we can't find the love we once knew
If you think I can't 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 Johnny?
Can you take him to school everyday?
Can you teach him how to catch a fish
And keep all those bullies away?
Hear what I say?

Can you teach him how to a whistle a tune?
Can you tell him about the man in the moon?
If you can do these things, then maybe he won't miss me
Maybe he won't miss me

And tonight as you lay in that big, lonely bed
Can you look at the pillow where I laid my head?
With your heart on fire, will you have no desire 
to kiss me
And to hold me?

And if you can forget the good times we had
If you think that the good times don't outweigh the bad
Then sign your name and I'll be on my way
I'll be on my way
