Wilco’s debut single from its first album, A.M., was released in July 1995.
Some listeners suggest the song is about the end of Uncle Tupelo, lead singer Jeff Tweedy’s band prior to forming Wilco.
[Verse 1]
Got a box full of letters
Think you might like to read
Some things that you might like to see
But they’re all addressed to me
Wish I had a lot of answers
Because that’s the way it should be
For all these questions
Being directed at me
[Chorus 1]
I just can’t find the time
To write my mind
The way I want it to read
[Chorus 2]
You’ll come back again
And I’ll still be your friend
[Verse 2]
I've got a lot of your records
In a separate stack
Some things that I might like to hear
But I guess I’ll give 'em back
I wish I had a lot of answers
Because that’s the way it should be
For all these questions
Being directed at me
[Chorus 1]
I just can’t find the time
To write my mind
The way I want it to read
[Chorus 2]
You’ll come back again
And I’ll still be your friend
[Chorus 1]
I just can’t find the time
To write my mind
The way I want it to read
[Chorus 1]
I just can’t find the time
To write my mind
The way I want it to read
