They say this town,
The stars stay up all night,
Don´t know can´t see´em,
For the glow of the neon lights.

And it´s a long way from here,
To the place where the home fires   burn,
Well it´s 2,000 miles and one left turn.

[chorus]
Dear Mom and Dad,
Please send money,
I´m so broke that it ain´t funny.
I don´t need much just enough to get me through.
Please don´t worry ´cause I´m alright.
(I´m playin here at the bar tonight)
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 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.

[repeat chorus]

I know that I´m on my way,
When I can tell every time I play.
And I know it´s worth all the dues I pay,
When I can write to you and say...

Dear Mom and Dad,
I´ll send money. I´m so rich that It ain´t funny.
Well it oughtta be more then enough to get you through.
Please don´t worry cause 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,
Well they all add up to nothin compared to you,
Well, remember me in ribbons and curls...
I still love you more than anything in the world

Love,
Your Baby Girl

(Your baby girl.....
Dear Mom and Dad,
Please send money,
I´m so broke that it ain´t funny,
Don´t need much just enough to get me through,
Please don´t worry cause I´m alright,
I´m playin here at the bar tonight..
Dreams come true....)
