I Got a Letter from Home

(Don Rich)



I've got a letter from home today

Mama didn't have a lot to say

Said that papa ain't a feeling too good

Ain't been a eatin' the way he should.



Little brother is still a pest

Little sister is such a mess

Big brother's got a lotta new friends

And big sister fell in love again.



Makes me wanna go home

Where I can feel free to take a walk

And understand people

When they talk.



I got a letter from home

Makes me wanna go home.



--- Instrumental ---



Uncle Bill bought a brand new car

Said it like to be where you are

Aunt Alice got a brand new house

The one whose husband is such a louse.



Your best girl friend she just left town

Some other guy's been a hangin' round.

Someone here that I want you to meet

A new girl that lived across the street



Makes me wanna go home

Where I can feel free to take a walk

And understand people

When they talk.



Oh, I gotta get home. oh, I wanna go home...
