Signed, Love Wynonna

Wynonna was a girl just passing through She had long dark hair and an attitude Each story we'd share, the fonder I grew 'til we fell in love But ol' Wynonna had a rambling heart Eyes for the road and a brand-new start I said, "Take off, baby, you can always find me again" She said, "Baby, when I find something better I'll make sure to send you a letter" Was a long eight months since she hit the state line Before my first letter arrived She said, "I found me some work out in Gallatin county At a big ranch there in the south river valley I ride an ol' paint that gets better every time She ain't much but I made her and she treats me fine Found an ol' k10 with the four on the floor Like the one that my daddy used to drive before I like to take it on trips with the windows down It makes me feel like he's still around I think I like it here now way out west Done found the place that I love best So meet me up here, baby, if you wanna" Signed "Love, Wynonna" Shoulda hopped a train, took a head first dive Dropped what I was doing and lived my life But I was too busy just working for the city And looking back now, hindsight's 2020 Lately, only thing getting me by Is some old love letters and a bottle of rye I like to keep 'em folded up in a cigar tin And when I'm missing you, I read the letters again She said, "My old paint horse is now top of the line She can cut, she can reign, she can stop on a dime Started playing my songs at the local bar And the folks down there think I could really go far The weather's been hard and the winters are cold And I'm getting lonely if the truth be told So meet me up here, baby, if you're gonna" Signed "Love, Wynonna" Still remember that dreaded day When I got that letter on the sixth of May I opened it up and I read the first line And I damn near cried "This gonna be my last letter you see I don't want an excuse or an apology Gotta understand, I couldn't wait forever And I need more than a damn love letter Molly set me up with a real nice guy And I think I'ma give him a try I hope you find your own nirvana" Signed "Take care, be well, Wynonna" Be well, Wynonna Wy-Wynonna Wy-Wynonna Wy-Wynonna Wy-Wynonna
