  • They say this town
    The stars stay up all night
    Well, I 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
    Well, I don't need much just enough to get me through
    Please don't worry 'cause I'm alright
    See, I'm playing 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
    Well, I don't need much just enough to get me through
    Please don't worry 'cause I'm alright
    See, I'm playing 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

    I know that I'm on my way (on my way)
    Well, I can tell every time I play (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
    Well, it oughta be more than enough to get you through
    Please don't worry 'cause I'm alright
    See, I'm staying here at the Ritz tonight
    What do 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

    Well, 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, ag yeah

    (Your Baby girl) dear mom and dad, please send money
    I'm so broke that it ain't funny
    Don't need much just enough to get me through
    (Your Baby girl) please don't worry 'cause I'm alright
    Playing here at the bar tonight
    Ooh, dreams come true Writer/s: Jennifer Nettles, Kristen Hall, Kristian Bush, Robert Hartley, Simone Simonton, Troy Bieser
