| They say this town
|
| The stars stay up all night
|
| Don’t know, can’t see 'em
|
| For the glow of the neon lights
|
| And it’s a long way from here
|
| To the place where the home fires burn
|
| Well, it’s 2,000 miles and one left turn
|
| Dear Mom and Dad
|
| Please send money
|
| I’m so broke that it ain’t funny
|
| But I don’t need much, just enough to get me through
|
| Please don’t worry 'cause I’m alright
|
| See, I’m playin' here at the bar tonight
|
| Well, this time I’m gonna make our dreams come true
|
| Well, I love you more than anything in the world
|
| Love, your baby girl
|
| Black top, blue sky
|
| Big town full of little white lies
|
| Well, everybody’s your friend, you can never be sure
|
| They’ll promise fancy cars and diamond rings
|
| And all sorts of shiny things
|
| But girl, you’ll remember what your knees are for
|
| Dear Mom and Dad
|
| Please send money
|
| I’m so broke that it ain’t funny
|
| But I don’t need much, just enough to get me through
|
| Please don’t worry 'cause I’m alright
|
| See, I’m playin' here at the bar tonight
|

|
| Well, I can tell every time I play
|
| And I know it’s worth all the dues I pay
|
| When I can write to you and say

|
| But you know that they don’t mean a thing
|

|
| Love, your baby girl, yeah
