They say this town,
The stars stay up all night,
Dont know cant seeem,
For the glow of the neon lights.
And its a long way from here,
To the place where the home fires burn,
Well its 2,000 miles and one left turn.
Dear Mom and Dad,
Please send money,
Im so broke that it aint funny.
I dont need much just enough to get me through.
Please dont worry cause im alright.
(im playin at the bar tonight)
This time im 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,
Everybodys your friend you can never be sure.
Theyll promise fancy cars and diamond rings,
All sorts of shiny things.
Girl, youll remember what your knees are for.
I know that im on my way,
When I can tell every time I play.
And I know its worth all the dues I pay,
When I can write to you and say...
Dear Mom and Dad,
Ill send money. Im so rich that It aint funny.
Well it oughtta be more then enough to get you through.
Please dont worry cause im alright,
Im stayin here at the Ritz tonight,
Whatta ya know we made our dreams come true!
And there are fancy cars and diamond rings,
But you know that they dont mean a thing,
Well they all add up to nothin compared to you,
Well, remember me in ribbons and curls...
I still love you more than anything in the world
Love,
Your Baby Girl
(Your baby girl.....
Dear Mom and Dad,
Please send money,
im so broke that it aint funny,
dont need much just enough to get me through,
Please dont worry cause im alright,
im playin here at the bar tonight..
Dreams come true....)
