Sugarland

They say in this town, stars stay up all night,
Well, I don t know, can t see em for the glow of the neon lights.
An' it's a long way from here to the place where the home fires burn.
Well it's two thousand miles and one left turn.
"Dear Mom and Dad,
"Please send money: I m so broke that it ain t funny.
"Well, I don't need much; just enough to get me through.
"Please don t worry 'cause I'm all right,
"I m playin here at the bar tonight.
"Well, this time, I m gonna make our dreams come true.
"Well, I love you more than anything in the world,
"Love,
"Your baby girl."
Black jack, blue sky: big town full of little white lies.
Well, everybody s your friend: you can never be sure.
They'll promise fancy cars an' diamond rings, an' all sorts of shiny things,
But, girl, you ll remember what your knees are for.
"Dear Mom and Dad,
"Please send money: I m so broke that it ain t funny.
"Well, I don't need much; just enough to get me through.
"Please don t worry 'cause I'm all right,
"See, I m playin here at the bar tonight.
"Well, this time, I m gonna make our dreams come true.
"Well, I love you more than anything in the world,
"Love,
"Your baby girl."
I know that I m on my way.
