Generate meaning
1
I'm gonna write a letter, gonna mail it today
2
Just as soon as I can think of the words to say
3
I've been needing to send it for nearly a year
4
'Cause there's a woman back home who's wanting to hear
5
I meant to tell you, oh, Susannah
6
I'm a long way from Louisiana and you
7
And I know I promised to be returning
8
Just as soon as I can save the money I'm earning for you
9
But I'm married to twins and I'm living in Peru
10
I'm gonna write a letter, get it off of my mind
11
But you know that the words ain't easy to find
12
Well, I'm sitting and thinking with my pen in my hand
13
How can I ever make her understand?
14
I meant to tell you, dear Julia
15
I'm a long way from the states, mosquitoes and you
16
I'll send some money to help with the kids
17
And I'd like to thank you for all that you did, it's true
18
Well, I'm in Louisiana, I got Susannah too
19
I got me a letter, it arrived today
20
And the words I read really blew me away
21
I don't believe I've ever felt so low
22
How could old Susannah ever treat me so?
23
She said, "I meant to tell you, my sweet honey
24
I'm a long way from your love and money and you
25
Please don't think me underhand
26
I do believe you could understand me too
27
I got a bar and a grill with Bill in Kalamazoo"
