Lyrics: (Verse 1) I woke up this mornin', my heart feelin' broke Found a letter in my mailbox, with a picture of a joke It was from my sweetheart, sayin' she's gone away Left me with nothin' but a bunch of bills to pay
(Chorus) Large mailboxes, filled with bills and pain Large mailboxes, bringin' me no gain I wish I had a mailbox, that was empty and bare Large mailboxes, just a reminder, I don't care
(Verse 2) I tried to write her back, but the words wouldn't come I just stared at the paper, feelin' like a bum I thought of all the things, we used to do But now she's gone, and I'm left with nothin' new
(Chorus) Large mailboxes, filled with bills and pain Large mailboxes, bringin' me no gain I wish I had a mailbox, that was empty and bare Large mailboxes, just a reminder, I don't care
