Intro
They say this town, stars stay up all night, well I
Don't know, can't see 'em, for the glow of the city lights
Long way from here to the place where the home fires burn
Two thousand miles and one left turn
Chorus
Dear Mom and Dad, Please send money.
I'm so broke it ain't funny
Don't need much just enough to get me through
Please don't worry I'm alright
I'm playin' here at the bar tonight
This time I'm gonna make my dreams come true
I love you more than anything in the world
G C G F G <--(1st chorus)
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
I know I'm on my way
I can feel it everytime I play
And it's worth all the dues I pay
When I can write to you and say
Chorus
Dear Mom and Dad, I'll send money.
I'm so rich it ain't funny
Oughtta be more than enough to get you through
Please don't worry 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 an diamond rings
But you know that they don't mean a thing
They all add up to nothin compared to you
Remember me in ribbons and curls
I still love you more than anything in the world
Love, your baby girl
