Dear landlord |
|
Please don't put a price on my soul |
|
My burden is heavy |
|
My dreams are beyond control |
|
When that steamboat whistle blows |
|
I'm gonna give you all I got to give |
|
And I do hope you receive it well |
|
Depending on the way you feel that you live. |
|
Dear landlord |
|
Please heed these words that I speak |
|
I know you've suffered much |
|
But in this you are not so unique |
|
All of us, at times we might work too hard |
|
To have it too fast and too much |
|
And anyone can fill his life up |
|
With things he can see but he just cannot touch. |
|
Dear landlord |
|
Please don't dismiss my case |
|
I'm not about to argue |
|
I'm not about to move to no other place |
|
Now, each of us has his own special gift |
|
And you know this was meant to be true |
|
And if you don't underestimate me |
|
I won't underestimate you. |
