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 two thousand miles and one left turn Dear Mom and Dad, Please send money,I'm so broke that it ain't funny. I don't need much just enough to get me through. Please don't worry cause I'm alright I'm playing here at the bar tonight. 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 Everybody's your friend, you can never be sure They promise fancy cars and diamond rings All sorts of shiny things 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. I don't need much just enough to get me through. Please don't worry cause I'm alright I'm playing here at the bar tonight. This time I'm gonna make our dreams come true Well I love you more than anything in the world. Love, Your baby girl I know that I'm on my way 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 Dear Mom and Dad, I'll send money, I'm so rich that it ain't funny It ought ta be more than enough to get you through Please don't worry cause I'm alright I'm staying here at the Ritz tonight What ta ya know we made our dreams come true! And there are fancy cars and diamond rings But you know that they don't mean a thing They all add up to nothing compared to you Well, remember me in ribbons and curls I still love you more than anything in the world. Love, Your baby girl Baby girl Baby girl
