I just wanna write a letter, people
But I don't know where to begin
I just wanna tell you, people
The state I'm in

When I got a dollar, people
They want to borrow half a buck
I just wanna tell you, people
Yes, about the state I'm in

When I go out gamblin'
Yeah, all they do is bring me bad luck
I just wanna tell you, people
They just wanna bring me bad luck
I just wanna tell you, people
Yes, about the bad luck

But I can't find the words to use
I just wanna write this letter
But I just can't find the words to use
I just wanna tell you, people
About the friends you use
