Yellow Ledbetter/The Star-Spangled Banner Songtext
von Pearl Jam

Unsealed, on a porch a letter sat
Then you said, "I wanna leave it again"
Once I saw her on a beach of weathered sand
And on the sand I wanna leave her again

On a weekend I wanna wish it all away, yeah
And they called and I said that I′ll go
And I said that I'll call out again
And the reason oughtta leave her calm, I know
I said, "I don′t know whether I'm the boxer or the bag"


Oh yeah, can you see them, out on the porch?
Yeah, but they don't wave
I see them ′round the front way, yeah
And I know, and I know I don′t wanna stay

Make me cry

I see oh, I don't know why there′s something else
I want to, wanna drum it all away
I said, "I don't, I don′t know whether I was the boxer or the bag"

Oh yeah, can you see them, out on the porch?
Yeah, but they don't wave
I see them ′round the front way
And I know, and I know I don't want to stay at all
I don't want to stay
I don′t want to stay
I don′t want to stay
I don't, I don′t want to stay
