Sugarland - Baby Girl lyrics
[Sugarland - Baby Girl lyrics]
They say this town
The stars stay up all night
Well, I don't know, can't 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
I'm so broke that it ain't funny
Well, I don't need much
Just enough to get me through
Please don't worry 'cause I'm alright
See, I'm playin' here at the bar tonight
Well, this time I'm 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, everybody's your friend
You can never be sure
They'll promise fancy cars and diamond rings
And all sorts of shiny things but, girl
You'll remember what your knees are for
Dear Mom and Dad, please, send money
I'm so broke that it ain't funny
Well, I don't need much
Just enough to get me through
Please don't worry 'cause I'm alright
See, I'm playin' here at the bar tonight
Well, this time I'm gonna make
Our dreams come true
Well, I love you more than
Anything in the world love, your baby girl
I know that I'm on my way
Well, I can tell every time I play
(Every time I play)
And I know it's worth all the dues I pay
When I can write to you and say
Dear Mom and Dad, I'll send money
I'm so rich that it ain't funny
Well, it oughta be more than
Enough to get you through
Please don't worry 'cause I'm alright
See, I'm stayin' here at the Ritz tonight
What do you 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
Well, they all add up to
Nothing compared to you
Well, remember me in ribbons and curls
I still love you more than
Anything in the world
Love, your baby girl, yeah
Your baby girl
Dear Mom and Dad, please, send money
I'm so broke that it ain't funny
Don't need much
Just enough to get me through
(Your baby girl)
Please don't worry because I'm alright
I'm playin' here at the bar tonight
Dreams come true
The stars stay up all night
Well, I don't know, can't 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
I'm so broke that it ain't funny
Well, I don't need much
Just enough to get me through
Please don't worry 'cause I'm alright
