Letter Home

In the style of

The Forester Sisters

Lyrics

dear mama
i hope that
you're alright
i can hear
the thunder rollin'
across the southern
sky tonight

kids are sleepin'
the tv's on
and i'm sittin'
here alone
and i just thought
i'd write
this letter home

i was the one
you were counting on
the family's
high school star
when jimmy and me
ran off that summer
must have broken
you and daddy's heart

yeah we didn't need
nobody's help
we were eighteen
years and grown
and i never sent
a single letter home

letters home
i wrote them
in my dreams
askin' if i'd known
what i know now
would it even
have changed a thing

the hardest part
of looking back
is the mistakes
are all your own
it's harder
to say that
in those letters home

jimmy found
somebody else
he told me that
on new year's day
he said he felt
like a man with her
and i watched them
drive away

the children and rent
there was
no time for tears
just time to carry on
i didn't know
how to tell ya
so there was no
letter home

letters home
i wrote them
in my dreams
askin' if i'd known
what i know now
would it even
have changed a thing

the hardest part
of looking back
is the mistakes
are all your own
you just can't
hide them
in those letters home

work in a place
with some other girls
and we're all
doin' alright
we raise our kids
and our jeans still fit
and sometimes
we go out at night

i'm twenty-nine
years young today
and i've lived it
to the bone
and i just wanted
to send you
this letter home

letters home
i wrote them
in my dreams
askin' if i'd known
what i know now
would it even
have changed a thing

the hardest part
of looking back
is the mistakes
are all your own
it's harder to say that
in those letters home

yeah it's so hard
to say that
in those
letters home
