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 turnDear 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 playing 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 girlBlack Top, blue sky, big town full of little white lies
Well, every body'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 forDear 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
