Forester Sisters - Letter Home lyrics

Dear mama, I hope that you're alright I can hear the thunder rollin' Across the Southern sky tonight The kids are asleep and the T.V.'s on And I'm sittin' here alone So I thought I'd write this letter home I was the one you were counting on The families high school star Jimmy and me ran off that summer Must have broken your and daddy's heart We didn't need nobodies help We were 18 years and grown That's why there was no letter home Letters home I wrote them in my dreams Askin' if I know what I know now Would it even have changed a thing The hardest part of looking back Is the mistakes are all your own I just couldn't tell you So there was no letter home Jimmy found somebody else He told me that on New Year's Day Said he felt like a man with her And I watched him drive away Children and rent, there were no time for tears Just time to carry on, so hard to tell you So there was no letter home Letters home I wrote them in my dreams Askin' if I know what I know now Would it even have changed a thing The hardest part of looking back Is the mistakes are all your own I just couldn't tell you So there was no letter home Work in a place with some other girls And we're all doing alright We raise our kids and our jeans still fit And sometimes we go out at night Sitting here tonight So I thought I'd write this letter home Letters home I wrote them in my dreams Askin' if I know what I know now Would it even have changed a thing The hardest part of looking back Is the mistakes are all your own I just couldn't tell you So there was no letter home
