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 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 everyday?
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
And 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?

If you can forget the good times we've had
If you think the good times don't outweigh the bad
Then sign your name and I'll be on my way
I'll just be on my way, hmm....
