[Verse 1]

Honey, now that your shackles are gone

And you're out there on your own

Won't you let me know

If things get hard

Honey, now your shackle's been lifted

You're a sweet young thing and you're oh so gifted

Will you let me know

If things turn bad

[Pre-Chorus]

I wasn't looking for trouble but trouble came

I wasn't looking to change, I'll never be the same

But life's not what you make it, baby

[Chorus]

Send me a postcard

When you get to where you're going

Send me a line

To everything you've left behind

[Verse 2]

Honey, now that I've found my way

And I miss you more than I can say

Won't you promise to

Say a prayer for me

Honey, now that the morning's come

We're both still out on the run

Won't you let me know

If you feel free

[Pre-Chorus]

We were looking to mend it but we tore it apart

And I went and broke my own goddamned heart

See, life's not what you make it, baby

[Chorus]

Send me a postcard

When you get to where you're going

Send me a line

To everything you've left behind

[Spoken]

Pick it for me, James

[Bridge]

I was just a kid when I fell for you

I'm not much older now but even then I knew

That the road was steep and full of strife

[Pre-Chorus]

I never knew what to say, could never get it right

And I'm alone again at the end of night

But life's not what you make it, baby

[Chorus]

Send me a postcard

When you get to where you're going

Send me a line

To everything you've left behind
