  • 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

    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

    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

    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

    Pick it for me, James

    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 strife

    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 Writer/s: Johanna Söderberg, Klara Söderberg
