“I Got Me A Letter”                                                                                                    

I got me a letter one day

it was my first letter in a long while.

Yeah, I got me a letter one day

and it said...

You know what it said?

Yeah, it said:

“We’re sorry to inform you

that part of you has died.

Yeah, we’re sorry to inform you

it happened late last night

while you were out a partyin’.

Yeah, it happened late last night

while your wife was home a sleepin’

Some fool done gone crazy

Yeah, while your wife was home a sleepin’

he just ripped right through the wall

not a scratch on his old pick-up.

Yeah, he just ripped right through the wall.

They say that he was drunk

but he got up and walked away.

Yeah, they say that he was drunk

but no one will ever know.

And we’re sorry to inform you

that part of you just died.

Yeah, we’re sorry to inform you

that part of you just died.’

And after I read that letter,

you know what I did then?

Yeah, after I read that letter,

I threw it right down on the ground

and I just started walkin’.

And I ain’t stopped walkin’ since.
