A letter from home came this morning    And each line on that handwritten page   Drew a picture of life in Louisiana   And just how long that I've been away      Dear daughter, we love you and miss you   So I thought I would drop you a line   Just to tell you how we long to see you   And to say that we're doing just fine      I don't know all the people who've told me   That they've stayed up way past their bedtime   Just to see you, sing and play in California   On the TV last Saturday night      Your Dad heard your song in New Orleans   And he told me that he felt so proud   That he pulled alongside of the highway   And he turned up that radio loud      Are you taking good care of yourself, dear   Are those city folks treating you well   If you need anything you can call us   We love you more than just words could ever tell      I remember when you were just a baby    The best years that we've ever had   Until they're gone we'll forever remember    Love always, your Momma and Dad   Love always, your Momma and Dad
