DEAR ANN

I’M AT THE RAILROAD STATION AND MY TRAIN IS PULLING IN

ANN, REALLY, I DON’T HAVE A LOT OF TIME

SO I’LL JUST TELL YOU HOW I FEEL AND HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND

I’LL TRY TO SAY IT ALL WITH THESE FEW LINES

‘CAUSE ANN I DIDN’T WANT TO LEAVE YOU CRYING

SO I SLIPPED OUT IN THE NIGHT

I JUST COULDN’T THINK OF A WAY TO TELL YOU

THE THRILL HAD GONE FROM OUR LIVES

NOW PLEASE DON’T THINK THAT, I’M NOT GRATEFUL

FOR ALL THOSE THINGS YOU’VE DONE

BUT I’M JUST ME, AND I NEED TO BE FREE

SO LOOK OUT WORLD, HERE I COME

Chorus

DEAR ANN, WILL YOU MISS YOUR WATER

NOW THE WELL’S RUN DRY

IN TIME, YOU WILL FIND ANOTHER

THERE’S NO NEED TO CRY

I HEAR, THAT CONDUCTOR CALLING

I MUST BE ON BY WAY

ANN, PLEASE DON’T THINK THAT I’M NOT GRATEFUL

BECAUSE I DID NOT STAY

(Key change)

NOW EVERY FLOWER NEEDS THE SUNSHINE

IF IT’S EVER GONNA’ GROW

AND YOU WERE THERE TO GIVE ME SUNSHINE THAT I NEEDED SO

NOW IT’S A SHAME, BUT WINTER CAME

SO TRY AND UNDERSTAND

THAT YOU WERE ALL THAT I COULD ASK FOR

BUT I’M A RAMBLING MAN

REPEAT CHORUS THREE TIMES
