Dear landlord
Please dont put a price on my soul
My burden is heavy
My dreams are beyond control
When that steamboat whistle blows
Im gonna give you all I got to give
And I do hope you receive it well
Dependin on the way you feel that you live
Dear landlord
Please heed these words that I speak
I know youve suffered much
But in this you are not so unique
All of us, at times, we might work too hard
To have it too fast and too much
And anyone can fill his life up with things
He can see but he just cannot touch
Dear landlord
Please dont dismiss my case
Im not about to argue
Im not about to move to no other place
Now, each of us has his own special gift
And you know this was meant to be true
And if you dont underestimate me
I wont underestimate you
