Sugarland Lyrics
Baby Girl Lyrics
They say in this town, stars stay up all night,
Dont know, cant see em for the glow of the neon lights.
And it's a long way from here to the place where the home fires burn.
Well it's two thousand miles and one left turn.
"Dear Mom and Dad,
"Please send money, Im so broke that it aint funny.
"I don't need much, just enough to get me through.
"Please dont worry 'cause I'm all right,
Im playin here at the bar tonight.
This time, Im gonna make our dreams come true.
"Well, I love you more than anything in the world...
Love,
Your baby girl."
Black top, blue sky, big town full of little white lies.
Well, everybodys your friend: you can never be sure.
They'll promise fancy cars and diamond rings, all sorts of shiny things,
But, girl, youll remember what your knees are for.
"Dear Mom and Dad,
"Please send money, Im so broke that it aint funny.
"I don't need much, just enough to get me through.
"Please dont worry 'cause I'm all right,
Im playin here at the bar tonight.
This time, Im gonna make our dreams come true.
"Well, I love you more than anything in the world...
Love,
Your baby girl."
I know that Im on my way.
I can tell every time I play.
And I know its worth all the dues I pay,
When I can write to you and say...
"Dear Mom and Dad,
"Ill send money. Im so rich that it aint funny.
It oughtta be more than enough to get you through.
"Please dont worry 'cause Im all right,
Im stayin here at the Ritz tonight
"Whaddya know, we made our dreams come true.
"And there are fancy cars and diamond rings,
"But you know that they don't mean a thing.
They all add up to nothin' compared to you.
"Well, remember me in ribbons an' curls.
"I still love you more than anything in the world...
"Love,
"Your baby girl."
Ah yeah.
Your baby girl.
("Dear Mom and Dad,
("Please send money, Im so broke that it aint funny.)
("Don't need much, just enough to get me through.)
Your baby girl.
("Please dont worry 'cause I'm all right,
Playin here at the bar tonight.
Ooh, ooh, ooh.)
Dreams come true.
