i'd had you out of my mind for a year or better

when the mailman handed me your letter


and i recognize the handwriting even now

but i know i'm gonna open it anyhow

and noone's been buying from my roadside stand, and i

held your letter like a cross to my chest

i'm gonna wrap up my troubles

i'm gonna wrap up my troubles

i'm gonna wrap up my troubles

in you.



i walked out into the kitchen

where the light came through the 4-paneled window

clean and bright and it's taken me two years to realize

how much i like the way that you dot your I's

well, i was born in indiana thirty years ago

and i got a mean, mean hunger down below

i'm gonna wrap up my troubles

i'm gonna wrap up my troubles

i'm gonna wrap up all my troubles

in you.
