So Long to the Headstrong

[Verse 1]

This morning I received airmail letter three

From my connection overseas

I pulled the paper back

You begin your attack and it reads:

[Pre-Chorus]

"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

[Chorus]

But tell Mr. Shoemaker I’ll be away

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

On a continental steamship sailin' away

On a one way ticket on a first class airplane

I want to know what you’re thinking about

Don’t just let me go

[Verse 2]

Four hundred days have passed since

I heard from you last

I’m getting worried, I admit

Maybe it’s nothing much

Business and chores and such

Oh I just don’t know

[Pre-Chorus]

Of all the places I laid down my head

I think of two I regret

Love isn’t easy my baby will tell you today

[Chorus]

But tell Mr. Shoemaker I’ll be away

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

On a continental steamship sailin' away

On a one way ticket on a first class airplane

I want to know what you’re thinking about

Don’t just let me go

[Bridge]

I’m saying so long

I want my baby back

I know it’s hard to see

Why she’s in love with me

I’m sayin' so long

I want my baby back

I know it’s hard to see

Why she’s in love with me

[Outro]

So long to the headstrong

I wasn’t qualified to lead that city life

That’s all I have to say
