Letter From Home

A letter from home came this morning And each line on that handwritten page Drew a picture of life in Louisiana And just how long that I've been away Dear daughter, we love you and miss you So I thought I would drop you a line Just to tell you how we long to see you And to say that we're doing just fine I don't know all the people who've told me That they've stayed up way past their bedtime Just to see you, sing and play in California On the TV last Saturday night Your Dad heard your song in New Orleans And he told me that he felt so proud That he pulled alongside of the highway And he turned up that radio loud Are you taking good care of yourself, dear Are those city folks treating you well If you need anything you can call us We love you more than just words could ever tell I remember when you were just a baby The best years that we've ever had Until they're gone we'll forever remember Love always, your Momma and Dad Love always, your Momma and Dad
