[Intro]
[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
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
Love, your baby girl
[Verse]
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
[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
Love, your baby girl
[Bridge]
I know that I m on my way
I can tell everytime I play
And I know 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 and 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
[Outro]
