Ive wondered where shed wind up before she called or wrote
The answers in a circle through the word love on a stamp

Id have bet on california

Or I could seattle with her mom and dad up there
She never mentioned alabama so I dont understand
Postmarked birmingham
A two-page letter written on
Ramada stationary
Date aprill twenty-two
She asked me not to hate her,
Said shes sorry
But leavins what she felt she had to do
So the day she left she made it two hundred miles south
Did she settle there, did she mail this note
On her way out of town
What chance is there to find here when the
Only clue I have is

A two-page letter written on
Ramada stationary
Date aprill twenty-two
She asked me not to hate her,
Said shes sorry
But leavins what she felt she had to do
Every day down by the mailbox
Standin on the curb I check
The upper right hand corner
Of every piece of mail I get
Hopin theres that certain circle
Through the word love on a stamp
