Letter Home Lyrics & Tabs by The Forester Sisters
Letter Home
guitar chords lyrics
Dear mama, I hope that you're alright
I can hear the thunder rollin'
Across the Southern sky tonight
The kids are asleep and the T.V.'s on
And I'm sittin' here alone
So I thought I'd write this letter home
I was the one you were counting on
The families high school star
Jimmy and me ran off that summer
Must have broken your and daddy's heart
We didn't need nobodies help
We were 18 years and grown
That's why there was no letter home
Letters home I wrote them in my dreams
Askin' if I know what I know now
That's why there was no letter home
Letters home I wrote them in my dreams
Askin' if I know what I know now
Would it even have changed a thing
The hardest part of looking back
Is the mistakes are all your own
I just couldn't tell you
So there was no letter home
Jimmy found somebody else
He told me that on New Year's Day
Said he felt like a man with her
And I watched him drive away
Children and rent, there were no time for tears
Just time to carry on, so hard to tell you
So there was no letter home
Letters home I wrote them in my dreams
Askin' if I know what I know now
Would it even have changed a thing
The hardest part of looking back
Is the mistakes are all your own
I just couldn't tell you
So there was no letter home
Work in a place with some other girls
And we're all doing alright
We raise our kids and our jeans still fit
And sometimes we go out at night
Sitting here tonight
So I thought I'd write this letter home
Letters home I wrote them in my dreams
Askin' if I know what I know now
Would it even have changed a thing
The hardest part of looking back
Is the mistakes are all your own
I just couldn't tell you
So there was no letter home
