Dear Landlord Songtext / Lyric

Dear landlord

Please don't put a price on my soul

My burden is heavy

My dreams are beyond control



When that steamboat whistle blows

I'm gonna give you all I got to give

An' I do hope you'll receive it well

Depending on the way you feel that you live






Dear landlord

Please heed these words that I speak

I know you've suffered much

But in this you are not so unique



All of us at times we might work to hard

To have it too fast and too much

An' anyone can fill his life up with things

He can see but he just cannot touch



Dear landlord

Please don't dismiss my case

I'm not about to argue

I'm not about to move to no other place



Now each of us has his own special gift

An' you know this was meant to be true

An' if you don't underestimate me

I won't underestimate you
