Eddie Rabbitt - Letter from Home lyrics

It's too hot to walk to the mailbox But I go to check it anyway There's a letter from home from my brother Joe I wonder what he's got to say He says daddy's fine, But I'm afraid he thinks he's Napoleon again But we're not worried here, 'Cause he says victory is close at hand And mamma is glad He's such a confident man You really oughta think about coming home And they will be fine, just leave 'em a note We got your candle burning and we sent you a plane If I were you I wouldn't hesitate You oughta think about coming home I asked Eileen to marry me And somehow she said yes But this came as no surprise To anyone I guess You know the job is fine And the '59, she's running like a top Remember we could always make it go But we could never make it stop We learned to be thankful For what we've got You really oughta think about coming home And they will be fine, just leave 'em a note We got your candle burning and we sent you a plane If I were you I wouldn't hesitate You oughta think about coming home Whoa, you really oughta think about it You really oughta think about it You really oughta think about coming home You oughta think about coming home We all love you here you know And we understood when you had to away Can't be no music man in this little town anyway But years got a way of slipping by And I can count them in daddy's eyes You gotta find some time one of these days Oh, one of these days You really oughta think about coming home And they will be fine, just leave 'em a note We got your candle burning and we sent you a plane If I were you I wouldn't hesitate You oughta think about coming home You really oughta think about coming home And they will be fine, just leave 'em a note We got your candle burning and we sent you a plane If I were you I wouldn't hesitate You oughta think about coming home Whoa, you really oughta think about coming home And they will be fine, just leave 'em a note We got your candle burning and we sent you a plane If I were you I wouldn't hesitate You oughta think about coming home
