Various Artists - The Great & Undecided (Alt. Version) lyrics

My friend was a midnight writer And I was a temporary hire With no mandolin to hold to my chest I guess it worked out for the best And I heard ever since you crossed state lines You found your dream job My friend Joy wrote a song for me She was singing it my room She said you can play it anytime you'd like If you tell the neighbors it's my tune And I heard ever since you crossed state lines Your old man was sending you money And I heard ever since you crossed state lines Everybody was getting postcards And you moved away to keep a distance That's kind of nice cause I like it here I was the great and undecided Holding a candle where the light is
