  • 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 2000 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 everytime 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 a 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 you 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 Writer/s: JENNIFER NETTLES, KRISTEN HALL, KRISTIAN BUSH, ROBERT HARTLEY, SIMONE SIMONTON, TROY BIESER
