The Great Mail Robbery

He met me at the corner with his hand above his hip

Prepared to shoot me down with his toy gun

He said I’ve got a little score to settle with you sir

And it’s all about the way you hurt my mom

The one to tell her where my daddy’s gone

And you’d better hand it over if you don’t want to fight

Cause today I’m bringing daddy’s letter home

And I’m momma’s little man at six years old

Don’t ask me any questions cause I’m here to rob the mail

And you’d better do exactly like you’re told

She kept me up all night until the dawn

I’m really not a bad guy I don’t want to shoot you down

But today I’m bringing daddy’s letter home

He said I don’t believe you understand

Since my daddy went away and left us here alone

I’ve done my best to be a little man

And try to find out where my daddy’s gone

And the last thing that I promised her when I strapped on the gun

Today I’m bringing daddy’s letter home

I’ve wondered how a kid could be so strong

The last thing that he promised her when he strapped on his gun

Today I’m bringing daddy’s letter home
