Written by:Al Kooper[00:00:02]
Now I've had a hard life[00:00:07]
I been through two wives[00:00:09]
And I've lived where the rats run wild[00:00:11]
But now I'm much better and I'm writing this letter[00:00:14]
Just to tell you bout your baby child[00:00:18]
So ma I been busy and I know you've missed me[00:00:21]
So I'm writing this letter to you[00:00:25]
I knows its been ten years but save up those sad tears[00:00:29]
Mama let me tell ya whets new[00:00:32]
Look at me I'm back on my feet[00:00:36]
Pulled myself right outa the street[00:00:39]
So glad to be back on my feet right now[00:00:43]
I'm getting smiles from the people I meet[00:00:46]
Wontcha tell me bout dad now[00:00:59]
Is he still doing bad now[00:01:00]
Working in the same drugstore[00:01:02]
Looking for praise now[00:01:06]
Did he ever get that raise now[00:01:08]
Hes been waiting twenty years for[00:01:09]
And poor brother billy is he still so silly[00:01:13]
Living with that girl crosstown[00:01:16]
Living off her job[00:01:20]
I still love that poor slob[00:01:22]
Tell him someday I'll be round[00:01:24]
Look at me I'm back on my feet[00:01:28]
Pulled myself right outa the street[00:01:31]
So glad to be back on my feet right now[00:01:34]
I'm getting smiles from the people I meet[00:01:38]
So glad to be back on my feet[00:01:42]
Well I married this girl she was a rich girl[00:01:51]
Took her checkbook and a fountain pen[00:01:54]
Wrote my name so fast now[00:01:58]
Knew my luck couldn't last now[00:01:59]
I wrote myself three years in the pen[00:02:01]
So I prayed to the saviour[00:02:04]
Got a year off for good behavior[00:02:06]
Read the bible so I'd understand[00:02:08]
Now I'm working steady and I'm married to Betty[00:02:12]
Doing my best to be her good loving man[00:02:15]
Mama so long now I know I was wrong now[00:02:25]
Not to write in such a long long while[00:02:28]
But ill save some money and you won't think its funny[00:02:31]
If I put you and dad up in style[00:02:35]
Look at me I'm back on my feet[00:02:39]
Pulled myself right outa the street[00:02:42]
So glad to be back on my feet right now[00:02:46]
I'm getting smiles from the people I meet[00:02:49]
Don't have to worry bout nothing to eat[00:02:52]
Now doncha think its kinda neat[00:02:56]
Ya know I pulled myself right up by the seat[00:02:59]
Of my pants[00:03:02]
Look at me I'm back on my feet[00:03:03]
