Yellow Ledbetter

Unsealed, on a porch, a letter sat

Then you said, "I wanna leave it again"

Once, I saw her on a beach of weathered sand

And on the sand, I wanna leave it again, yeah

On a weekend, wanna wish it all away, yeah

And they called, and I said that I want what I said, and then I call out again

And the reason oughta leave her calm, I know

I said, "I don't know whether I'm the boxer or the bag"

Oh yeah, can you see them out on the porch?

Yeah, but they don't wave

I see them 'round the front way, yeah

And I know, and I know, I don't wanna stay

Make me cry

I see

I don't know why, there's something else

Wanna drum it all away, oh, I said I—

I don't, I don't know whether there's the boxer or the bag

Oh yeah, can you see them out on the porch?

Yeah, but they don't wave

I see them 'round the front way, yeah

And I know, and I know, I don't wanna stay, oh no

I don't wanna stay

I don't wanna stay

I don't wanna stay, I don't, no

Yeah

Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
