With Pen in Hand - Lyrics - Eddy Arnold

He was a so-called Nashville sound innovator of the late 1950s, and scored 147 songs on the Billboard country music charts, second only to George Jones. He sold more than 85 million records. A member of the Grand Ole Opry and the Country Music Hall of Fame , Arnold ranked 22nd on Country Music Television's 2003 list of "The 40 Greatest Men of Country Music."

(Bobby Goldsboro) With pen in hand you signed your name Today at five I'll be on that train And you'll be free and I will be alone So alone, If you think we can't find the love we once knew If you think I can't make everything up to you Then I'll be gone and you'll be on your own You'll be on your own. Can you take good care of Johnny can you take him to school everyday Can you teach him how to catch a fish and keep all those bullys away, hear what I say Can you teach him how to whistle a tune Can you tell him about the man on the moon If you can do these things then maybe he won't miss me Maybe he won't miss me. And tonight as you lay in that big lonely bed And you look at the pillow where I laid my head With your heart on fire will you have no desire to kiss me and to hold me And if you can forget the good times we had If you don't think the good times won't outweigh the bad Then sign your name and I'll be on my way I'll be on my way. hmm hmm...
