GONNA WRITE A LETTER    WRITER PAUL KENNERLEY      I'm gonna write a letter, gonna mail it today    Just as soon as I think of the words to say    I've been needing to send it for nearly a year    There's a woman back home who's waiting to hear    I meant to tell you, dear Susannah    I'm a long way from Louisiana and you    And I know I promised to be returning    Just as soon as I've saved the money I'm earning for you    But I'm married to twins and I'm living in Peru    Well, I'm gonna write a letter    Get it off my mind    But you know the words    Are so hard to find    Sitting, thinking with my pen in my hand    How can I make her understand?    I meant to tell you, dear Julia    I'm a long way from the States, mosquitoes and you    I'll send some money to help with the kids    I'd like to thank you for all that you did    It's true Louisiana, and I'm with Susannah, too    Got me a letter, it arrived today    The words I read just blew me away    I don't believe I've ever felt so low    How could Susannah treat me so?    She said, “I meant to tell you, my sweet honey    I'm a long way from your love, your money and you    Please don't think me under    And I do believe you'll understand me too    I got a bar and grill with Phil in Kalamazoo
