Dear mom,
I tried to call your mother,
though I can't be bothered now
Busy playing another place, singing to a crowd
But I mention your name
Since you can't be yourself
I know it ain't the same,
don't have to say it,
I can tell
Well, your boy, he's been dreaming
of this life for so long
Claims it's all he's ever needed, yeah,
why's it feel so wrong?
No, one can ever do for me what you have done
I miss you,
mom,
and I love you dearly,
sincerely,
your son
Dear Paul,
raise yourself a good son,
though it often looks the other way
But I guarantee no one will ever take your place
And I mention your name to the same
crowd as I did mom
Cause even though you're by me while I'm on stage,
singing my songs
And your boy,
he's been dreaming of this life for so long
Claims it's all he's ever needed,
yeah,
why's it feel so wrong?
No, one can ever do for me what you have done
I thank you,
Paul,
and I love you dearly,
sincerely,
your son
Well,
your boy,
he's been dreaming fantasies up in the air
But a dream without y'all is what I'd call a nightmare
Cause no one can ever do for me what y'all have done
I thank you, Paul,
and I miss you, mom,
and I love you both dearly
