Lyrics
Dear mother I am writing a letter
To let you know I am doing just fine
I am happy and I couldn't be better
I am living now across state lines
I met someone and we're both feeling lucky
To have a love we can feel in our bones
We built a house on a small bit of country
It's not much but it feels like home
Dear mother I am writing a letter
Dear mother I am writing a letter
Dear mother I am writing a letter
Dear mother I am writing a letter
I hope your garden is already growing
And all the trestles are covered with vines
I hope old Henry is finally slowing
That old dog can give a hell of a time
Speaking of roots I can feel mine sowing
Into this life and the place that I'm in
I've got some news yeah our family is growing
Now ain't that just a hell of a thing
Dear mother I am writing a letter
Dear mother I am writing a letter
Dear mother I am writing a letter
Dear mother I am writing a letter
Go tell Dad for me the next time see him
I'm sure he'd love to hear that great big surprise
I do miss the way he'd laugh in the morning
And greet the sun with a smile in his eyes
I'd sure love to have you come up and visit
It's no trouble we can make some room
If you wait too long you just might miss it
All my love and please write back soon
Dear mother I am writing a letter
Dear mother I am writing a letter
Dear mother I am writing a letter
Dear mother I am writing a letter
