Letters Home

Baby, I’m so goddamn confused
I don’t know what to do
I ain’t heard from you about sixteen days
Postman got no news
The nights go by like cigarettes
Just lying there burning slow and long
Ah baby, I ain’t that strong
I sent letters home to mama
But you know mama never sent them back
Get up in the morning and I ball that jack
I’m out for one or two
The more I drink, the more I think
The more I’m born to lose
You rattled my snake and shoo my hide
And then you moved my train
Moved it on down the line, on down the line
I sent letters home to mama
But you know mama never sent them back
Mama used to soothe my aching head
Mama use to do my clothes
Mama used to tuck me into bed
Mama used to blow my nose
Round and around and around we go
Where we stop nobody knows for sure
Baby, that’s for sure
I sent letters home to mama, but you know
Mama never sent the back
