 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
And 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 alright
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
Blacktop, blue sky, big town
Full of little white lies, well
Everybody's your friend
You can never be sure
They'll promise fancy cars and diamond rings
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 alright
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
Well, I can tell everytime I play
And I'll 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 ought to be more than enough to get you through
Please don't worry cause I'm alright
See 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
Your baby girl
Dreams do come true
