Seventeen Years Lyrics - Marty Robbins

From the letter you write me I guess that you're doing fine 

I suppose you're too busy to remember I'm here doing time 

I doubt if you're lonely I doubt if you've cried any tears 

I doubt if you do any thinking about me while I'm doing seventeen years 

If you could imagine some things that I've had to go through 

Perhaps you'd remember I'm doing them all just for you 

But you don't see the bars you can't hear that big iron gate 

For you'd never forget that you'd never regret that 

I'm here doin' time for your sake 

You know I love you and that's why I'll never reveal 

The reason I'm stuck here you know that my lips are sealed 

I doubt if you're lonely I doubt if you've cried any tears 

I doubt if you do any thinking about me while I'm doing seventeen years 

I doubt if you do any thinking about me while I'm doing seventeen years
