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
