dolly parton - letter lyrics
this is the first letter that i wrote back home to mom and daddy
a few days after i’d moved to nashville
june 2nd 1964 nashville tennesee
dear mom and daddy i hope this letter finds everybody well and happy
as for me i’m fine i guess i’m just a little lonesome and a whole lot homesick
i got to nashville ok and i thought i’d better write and let you know
cause i knew you’d be worried about me
and i don’t let you know to worried about me cause i’m gonna be alright
once i get settled and used to bein’ away from home
i didn’t realize how much i loved you and all them noisy kids until i left
and i didn’t reaize how hard it was to eave home eiter
till i started to leave and everybody started cryin’ includin’ me
i cried almost all the way to nashville
and i wanted to turn around a few times and come back
but you know how bad i’ve always wanted to go to nashville
and be a singer and songwriter
and i believe that if i try long enough and hard enough that someday i’ll make it
don’t worry about tryin’ to send me any money or anything
cause i’ve got a job singin’ on the early morning television show
here called the eddie hill show
and a couple of folks already told me that they might record a couple of my songs
so i’ll be makin’ enough money to get by
and i don’t want you to worryin’ about me bein’ hungry or anything
and nashville’s not exactly what i thought it was gonna be
but i believe i’m gonna like it here once i get used to it
and i don’t want you to worryin’ about me gettin’ in trouble either
cause i’ll be good just like i promised you i would when i left
well can’t think of anything else to say
i guess i’d better close for now and you write me real soon
and tell everybody i said h-llo and i’m gonna be real anxious to hear from you
cause i sure miss you and i love you an awful lot
with love as always dolly
