They say this town's stars stay up all night
Well, I don't know, can't see them
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 lay of turn
Dear Mom and Dad, please send money
I'm so broke that it ain't funny
Well, I don't need much
It's enough to get me through
Please don't worry, cause I'm alright
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 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 needs are for
Dear Mom and Dad, please send money
I'm so broke that it ain't funny
Well, I don't need much
It's enough to get me through
Please don't worry, cause I'm alright
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 girl
I know that I'm on my way
Well, I can tell every time I play
And I know it's worth all the dues I pay
When I can write to you and say
Dear Mom and Dad, please 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 staying here at the Red's tonight
What do you 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 nothing
Come true, come true, come true
I swear to you
Well, remember me in ribbons and pearls
I still love you more than anything in the world
Love your baby girl
Your baby girl
Dear Mom and Dad, please send money
I'm so rich that it ain't funny
Well, I can tell every time I play



I'm so rich that it ain't funny
I'm so rich that it ain't funny
I'm so rich that it ain't funny
Your baby girl
Please don't worry, cause I'm alright
When I'm here at the bar tonight
Dream comes true
Dreams come true
It's true, it's true
It's true, it's true
It's true, it's true
It's true, it's true
It's true, it's true
It's true, it's true
I'll see you next time.
