A letter from home came this morning 

And each line on that handwritten page

Drew a picture of life in Louisiana

And just how long that I've been away


Dear daughter, we love you and miss you

So I thought I would drop you a line

Just to tell you how we long to see you

And to say that we're doing just fine


I don't know all the people who've told me

That they've stayed up way past their bedtime

Just to see you, sing and play in California

On the TV last Saturday night


Your Dad heard your song in New Orleans

And he told me that he felt so proud

That he pulled alongside of the highway

And he turned up that radio loud


Are you taking good care of yourself, dear

Are those city folks treating you well

If you need anything you can call us

We love you more than just words could ever tell


I remember when you were just a baby 

The best years that we've ever had

Until they're gone we'll forever remember 

Love always, your Momma and Dad

Love always, your Momma and Dad
