Annie Beasley


Dear Annie Beasley -
I see you in the sun -
With a kitten in each hand, and -
Long and lean and wondering how I am -
And how things go -
And I’m missing you and I wanted you to know -
-
Dear Annie Beasley -
I’m singing my songs tonight -
Sometimes Annie Beasley -
I don’t remember why -
Sometimes the only answer is “It’s what I’ve done” -
And some nights I just want to turn around and run -

And that’s when I get thinking -
I’m coming home to you -
Empty out my pockets -
Hop the next freight train -
From Pittsburgh, past Erie -
Dayton, Cincinnati -
Louisville, Kentucky -
Nashville, Memphis -
Little Rock, Okemah -
Oklahoma City -
Pampa, Amarillo -
Tucumcari, Albuquerque -
Los Lunas, getting close -
Socorro, San Antonio -
And then on home to you -
-
Dear Annie Beasley -
Are you still gonna come -
Up to Colorado -
When I’m there next month -
We’ll have some fun, I got -
A couple days -
Besides, it’s been so long since I seen your face -
-
And that’s when I get thinking -
I’m coming home to you -
Empty out my pockets -
Hop the next freight train -
From Pittsburgh, past Erie -
Dayton, Cincinnati -
Louisville, Kentucky -
Nashville, Memphis -
Little Rock, Okemah -
Oklahoma City -
Pampa, Amarillo -
Tucumcari, Albuquerque -
Los Lunas, getting close -
Socorro, San Antonio -
And then on home to you -
-
Dear Annie Beasley -
P.S. I love you….
