Yesterday pulled the shades from my eyes
Couldn't hide from what I saw
Filled my mind all that I should do
Til clouds rolled through and covered it all
Cause I'm doing time for another's crime
And I'm writing these letters that don't make it better
But they get it out of my mind
It's what I do, it's what I did with you
Those letters all stay, I send you away
I thought of you
Oh it blew my mind
When Old Drew (?) died
He loved her so
It seemed to me
It could be a sign
But I was blind
I didn't know where to go
Cause I'm doing time for another's crime
And I'm writing these letters that don't make it better
But they get it out of my mind
It's what I do, it's what I did with you
Those letters all stay, I send you away
Swinging doors that never close
Willing hearts that never know
I'm doing time for another's crime
And I'm writing these letters that don't make it better
And lately I even't even gotten it out of my mind
But what I do, it's what I did with you
Those letters all stay, I send you away
Those letters all stay, I send you away
