Baby Girl

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 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
 
 
 Black top, 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 and 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
 Well, I can tell every time I play
 An' 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 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
 What do you know, we made our dreams come true
 And there are fancy cars an' 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, ah yeah
 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
 Your baby girl
 Please don't worry, 'cause I'm alright
 Playin' here at the bar tonight
 Oh, oh oh
 Dreams come true
