C         G          F 
  They say this town, the stars stay up all night, well I 
C           G               F 
  Don't know, can't see 'em, for the glow of the neon lights 
           C        G         F 
And it's a, long way from here to the place where the home fires burn 
          C             G                  F   G 
Well it's, two thousand miles and one left turn
[Chorus]
C                 G 
Dear Mom and Dad, Please send money.

       C                      G                F     G 
Well I don't need much just enough to get me through 
C                          G 
Please don't worry, cause' I'm alright 
     F                       G 
See, I'm playin' here at the bar tonight 
Am                    G              F

Well, I love you more than anything in the world

  Black top, blue sky, big town full of little white lies 
     C                 G                      F 
Well, everybody's your friend you can never be sure 
               C               G

F 
  All sorts of shiny things 
     C              G                         F   G

            F   C     G 
I know that I'm on my way 
           F         C      G 
Well I can tell everytime I play 
                F             C       G 
And I know it's worth all the dues I pay

C                  G             F      G 
Whatta ya know we made our dreams come true 
             C               G 
And there are fancy cars and diamond rings 
         F                    G 
But you know that they don't mean a thing  
     Am             G             F 
They all add up to nothin compared to you 
        Dm                      F 
Well, remember me in ribbons and curls 
        Dm                                 F 
I still love you more than anything in the world 
 G                C  F G 
Love, your baby girl
