DEAR MAMA
I HOPE THAT
YOU'RE ALL RIGHT
I CAN HEAR
THE THUNDER ROLLIN'
ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN SKY
TONIGHT
KIDS ARE ASLEEP
AND THE T.V.'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
JIMMY AND ME
RAN OFF THAT SUMMER
MUST'VE 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
WERE 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
SAID HE FELT
LIKE A MAN WITH HER
AND I WATCHED THEM
DRIVE AWAY
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
WERE ALL YOUR OWN
YOU JUST CAN'T
HIDE THEM
IN THOSE
LETTERS HOME
WORKING A PLACE
WITH SOME OTHER
GIRLS
AND WE'RE ALL DOIN'
ALRIGHT
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 MOST
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
WERE 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
