Seventeen Years lyrics

From the letter you write me

I guess that you're doing just fine

I suppose you're too busy

To remember I'm here doing time

I doubt if you're lonely

I doubt if you've cried any tears

I doubt if you do any thinkin' about me

While I'm doing seventeen years

If you could imagine

Some things that I've had to go through

Perhaps you'd remember

I'm doing them all just for you

But you don't see the bars

You can't hear that big iron gate

Or you'd never forget that you'd never regret that

I'm here doin' time for your sake

You know I love you

And that's why I'll never reveal

The reason I'm stuck here

You know that my lips are sealed

I doubt if you're lonely

I doubt if you've cried any tears

I doubt if you do any thinkin' about me

While I'm doing seventeen years

I doubt if you do any thinking about me

While I'm doing seventeen years
