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.
Well I don't need much just enough
to get me through.
Please don't worry
'cause I'm alright.
(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
Everybody's your friend
you can never be sure.
They'll 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.
Well I don't need much just enough
to get me through.
Please don't worry
'cause I'm alright.
(I'm playin 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
When 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.
Well it oughtta be more
then enough to get you through.
Please don't worry
cause I'm alright
I'm 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 don't 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

Dreams come true...)
