verse 1 Honey, now that your shackles are gone And you're out there on your own Won't you let me know If things get hard Honey, now that your shackle's been lifted You're a sweet young thing and you're oh so gifted Will you let me know If things turn bad Pre-Chorus I wasn't looking for trouble, but trouble came I wasn't looking to change, I'll never be the same But life's not what you make it, baby Send me a postcard When you get to where you're going Send me a line To everything you've left behind verse 2 Honey, now that I've found my way And I miss you more than I can say Won't you promise to Say a prayer for me Honey, now that the morning's come We're both still out on the run Won't you let me know If you feel free Pre-Chorus We were looking to mend it but we tore it apart And I went and broke my own goddamned heart See, life's not what you make it, baby Send me a postcard When you get to where you're going Send me a line To everything you've left behind Bridge I was just a kid when I fell for you I'm not much older now but even then I knew That the road was steep and full of stride Pre-Chorus I never knew what to say, could never get it right And I'm alone again at the end of night But life's not what you make it, baby Send me a postcard When you get to where you're going Send me a line To everything you've left behind
