With Pen In Hand Lyrics By Bobby Goldsboro

    with pen in hand
    you sign your name
    today at five
    i’ll be on that train
    and you’ll be free
    and i’ll 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 jenny
    can you take her to school everyday
    can you teach her how to play
    all the games that little girls play
    hear what i say
    can you teach her how to roll up her hair
    can you make sure each night that she says her prayers
    well if you can do all these things
    then maybe she won’t miss me
    maybe she won’t miss me

    and tonight as you laid in that big lonely bed
    and you look at that pillow
    where i laid my head
    with your heart on fire
    will you have no desire
    to kiss me
    or to hold me

    and if you can forget
    the good times we had
    if you don’t think
    they out weigh the bad
    well then go ahead
    sign your name
    and i’ll be
    on my way
    i’ll be on my way
