1st Verse
They say
This town
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
1st Chorus
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 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
2nd Verse
Black top, blue sky
Big town full 'a little white lies
Well, everybody's your friend
You can never be sure
And all sorts 'a shiny things
But girl, you'll remember what your knees are for
(Repeat 1st Chorus)
Bridge
I know that I'm on my way
Well, 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
2nd Chorus
Dear Mom and Dad
I'll send money
I'm so rich that it ain't funny
Well, it oughtta be more than enough
To get you through
Please don't worry 'cause I'm alright
See I'm stayin' here at the Ritz tonight
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
Oh, ah, yeah
Your baby girl
(1st Chorus Out)
Your baby girl
Oooh, oooh
Dreams come true
