Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'll write you a letter tomorrow
Tonight, I can't hold a pen
Someone's got a stamp that I can borrow
I promise not to blow the address again
[Verse 2]
Lights that flash in the evening
Through a crack in the drapes
[Verse 3]
Jesus rides beside me
He never buys any smokes
Hurry up, hurry up
Ain't you had enough of this stuff?
Ashtray floors
Dirty clothes and filthy jokes
[Verse 4]
See, you're high and lonesome
Try, try, and try
[Verse 5]
Lights that flash in the evening
Through a hole in the drapes
I'll be home when I'm sleepin'
I can't hardly wait
[Verse 6]
I can't wait
Hardly wait
I can't wait
Hardly wait
I can't wait
Hardly wait
I can't wait
Hardly wait
I can't wait
Hardly wait
