I've been living hand-to-mouth for a year or better When the mailman comes and he gives me your letter And I recognize the handwriting even now But I go ahead and open it anyhow, yeah No one's been buying from my roadside stand and I Hold your letter like a cross in my hand I'm gonna wrap up my troubles I'm gonna wrap up my troubles I am gonna wrap up my troubles In you
I went out into the kitchen Where the light comes through the four-paneled window Clean and bright And it's taken me this long to realize How much I like the way that you dot your "i"s I was born in Indiana thirty years ago I got a mean, cruel hunger down below And I'm gonna wrap up my troubles I am gonna wrap up my troubles I'm gonna wrap up all my troubles In you
