Hey Mom

I am far from home

Do you miss me?

Yeah, I really miss you

Hey Dad

What's been going on?

Tell me, how's my brothers?

How's my sister?

Lately, I feel so far away



I'm too old to be your baby anymore

And I've colored in my skin

Yeah, I know how much you hate that

But it's part of who I am, and that's for sure



So I'm leaving you

But I'll be home soon

Don't cry

You know I love you

Gotta see the world

But I'm still your girl

And I'm fine

I'll always love you.



Hey friend,

Caught a movie by myself

It's not the same, yeah,

It's no fun without you

Some days

I feel like somebody else

Some kind of stranger

When I'm not around you



So I guess I'll hit the road

Never know where I am going

Every city different than the day before

But I'll call you on the phone

How I love to hear you talking

Gets me through a little dark, and that's for sure



So I'm leaving you

But I'll be home soon

Don't cry

You know I love you

Gotta see the world

But I'm still your girl

And I'm fine

I'll always love you.



Please don't forget that I'm thinking of you

Your fingerprint's on everything that I do

Please don't be lonely 'cause I'm coming home

I'll be back before you ever knew I was gone



Well, I gotta hit the road,

I'm so tired but I'm going

'Cause a dreamer never sleeps, and that's for sure



So I'm leaving you

But I'll be home soon

Don't cry

You know I love you

Gotta see the world

But I'm still your girl

And I'm fine

I'll always love you.
