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 all alone


If you think we can't
Find the love we once knew
If you think I can't

Make everything 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

Will 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
