John Legend

I Can't Write Left Handed (feat. The Roots)

I can't write left-handed
Would you please write a letter, write a letter to my mother?
Tell her to tell, tell her to tell, tell her to tell the family lawyer
Trying to get, trying to get a deferment for my younger brother

Tell the Reverend Harris to pray for me, Lord, Lord, Lord
I ain't gonna live, I don't believe I'm going to live to get much older
Strange little man over here in Vietnam I ain't, I ain't never seen
Bless his heart ain't never done nothing to,
he done shot me in my shoulder

Boot camp we had classes
You know we talked about fighting, fighting everyday
And looking through rosy, rosy colored glasses
I must admit it seemed exciting anyway

Oh, but something that day overlooked to tell me, Lord
Bullets look better, I must say
Brother when they ain't coming at you
But going out the other way

And please call up the Reverend, call up, call up the Reverend Harris
Tell him to ask the Lord to do some good things for me
Tell him I ain't gonna live, I ain't gonna live, I ain't gonna live
To get much older, oh Lord
Strange little man over here in Vietnam, I ain't never seen
Bless his heart ain't never done nothing to,
he done shot me in my shoulder
Lord

Mirror lyrics:

Lord
he done shot me in my shoulder
Bless his heart ain't never done nothing to,
Strange little man over here in Vietnam, I ain't never seen
To get much older, oh Lord
Tell him I ain't gonna live, I ain't gonna live, I ain't gonna live
Tell him to ask the Lord to do some good things for me
And please call up the Reverend, call up, call up the Reverend Harris

But going out the other way
Brother when they ain't coming at you
Bullets look better, I must say
Oh, but something that day overlooked to tell me, Lord

I must admit it seemed exciting anyway
And looking through rosy, rosy colored glasses
You know we talked about fighting, fighting everyday
Boot camp we had classes

he done shot me in my shoulder
Bless his heart ain't never done nothing to,
Strange little man over here in Vietnam I ain't, I ain't never seen
I ain't gonna live, I don't believe I'm going to live to get much older
Tell the Reverend Harris to pray for me, Lord, Lord, Lord

Trying to get, trying to get a deferment for my younger brother
Tell her to tell, tell her to tell, tell her to tell the family lawyer
Would you please write a letter, write a letter to my mother?
I can't write left-handed
