Tear-Stained Letter
He wrecked my house and he wrecked my heart
He danced on my head like Arthur Murray
The scars ain't never going to mend in a hurry
Just when I thought that things would get better
Right through the door came a tear-stained letter
Whoa, oh, oh Lord, Lord
Cry and cry if it makes you feel better
Set it all down in a tear-stained letter
Whoa, oh, oh Lord, Lord
Cry and cry if it makes you feel better
Set it all down in a tear-stained letter
Well, my head was spinning just a little to fast
It was writing checks that my body couldn't cash
I jumped to my feet, I was reelin' and a-dizzy
I went for the phone but the line was busy
Just when I thought that things would get better
Right through the door came a tear-stainted letter
Whoa, oh, oh Lord, Lord
Cry and cry if it makes you feel better
Set it all down in a tear-stained letter
Whoa, oh, oh Lord, Lord, Lord
Cry and cry if it makes you feel better
Set it all down in a tear-stained letter
Now, I like coffee and I like tea
But I just don't like this feeling in me
It makes me nervous, it gives me the hives
Looking for the truth in a pack of lies
Just when I thought that things would get better
Right through the door came a tear-stained letter
Whoa, oh, oh Lord, Lord
Cry and cry if it makes you feel better
Set it all down in a tear-stained letter
Whoa, oh, oh Lord, Lord, Lord
Cry and cry if it makes you feel better
Set it all down in a tear-stained letter
Whoa, oh, oh Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord
Cry and cry if it makes you feel better
Set it all down in a tear-stained letter
Whoa, oh, oh Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord
Cry and cry if it makes you feel better
Set it all down in a tear-stained letter
