Letters From Home Lyrics

My dearest son it's almost June I hope this letter catches up with you and finds you well It's been dry but they're callin for rain And every thing is the same ol' same in Johnsonville Your stubborn old daddy ain't said too much But I'm sure you know he sends his love And she goes on in a letter from home I hold it up and show my buddies Like we ain't scared and our boots ain't muddy And they all laugh like there's somethin' funny 'Bout the way I talk When I say "Mamma sends her best ya'll" I fold it up and put it in my shirt Pick up my gun and get back to work And it keeps me drivin' on Waitin' on letters from home My dearest love it's almost dawn I've been lyin' here all night long Wonderin' where you might be I saw your Mama and I showed her the ring Man on the television said something so I couldn't sleep But I'll be all right I'm just missin' you And this is me kissin' you X's and O's in a letter from home I hold it up and show my buddies Like we ain't scared and our boots ain't muddy And they all laugh cause she calls me honey But they take it hard cause I don't read the good parts I fold it up and put it in my shirt Pick up my gun and get back to work And it keeps me drivin' on Waitin' on letters from home Dear son I know I ain't written But sittin' here tonight alone in the kitchen It occurs to me I might not have said it So I'll say it now son you make me proud I hold it up and show my buddies Like we aint scared and our boots aint muddy But no one laughs cause there aint nothin' funny When a soldier cries And I just wipe my eyes I fold it up and put it in my shirt Pick up my gun and get back to work And it keeps me drivin' on Waitin' on letters from home
