With pen in hand
you sign your name
Today at five
I'll be on that train
And you'll be free
And I will be alone
So alone
If you think we can't find
the love we once knew
If you think I can't make
everythin' 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 Johnny
Can you take him
to school every day
Can you teach him how
to catch a fish
And keep all those
bullies away
Hear what I say
Can you teach him how
to whistle a tune
Can you tell him about
the man in the moon
If you can do these things
then maybe he won't miss me
Maybe he won't miss me
And tonight as you lay
in that big lonely bed
Can you look at the pillow
where I laid my head
With your heart on fire
Do you have no desire
to kiss me
And to hold me
And if you can forget
the good times we had
If you think that the good times
don't outweigh the bad
Then sign your name
And I'll be on my way
I'll be on my way
