So Long to the Headstrong

This mornin' I received air mail letter three

From my connection overseas

I pulled the paper back, you begin your attack

And it means

Of all the places I laid down my head, I think of two I regret

Love isn't easy, my baby, you're saying today, whoa

But tell Mr. Shoemaker I'll be away

On a rocket or a comet or the dock of the bay

On a continental steam ship sailin' away

On a one-way ticket on a first class airplane

I wanna know what you're thinkin' about

Don't just let me go, whoa

Whoa

Four hundred days have passed since I heard from you last

I'm gettin' worried, I admit

Maybe it's nothing much, there's nicer shores in sight

Oh, I just don't know

Of all the places I laid down my head, I think of two I regret

Love isn't easy, my baby, we'd tell you today, whoa

But tell Mr. Shoemaker I'll be away

On a rocket or a comet or the dock of the bay

On a continental steam ship sailin' away

On a one-way ticket on a first class airplane

I wanna know what you're thinkin' about

Don't just let me go, whoa

Whoa

I'm sayin' so long

I want my baby back

I know it's hard to see

Why she's in love with me, yeah

I'm sayin' so long

I want my baby back

I know it's hard to see

Why she's in love with me, yeah

So long to the headstrong

I wasn't qualified

To live that city life

That's all I have to say
