I hope this letter finds you
Wherever you may be
ââ¬ËCause I mailed some awhile back
And they were all returned to me
Ain't nothin' I can tell you ââ¬Ëbout the hometown
Everything changes, but nothing's new
Just Sunday night at the kitchen table
Finishin' a beer and thinkin' of you.
And I still work the same job
Just live with my mom for free
ââ¬ËCause ever since the old man passed on
It just got harder to leave.
Well I heard a rumor that you got married
Though you swore that you never would
I guess you finally got your own kids now
You ever tell ââ¬Ëem ââ¬Ëbout the old neighborhood?
Like the time we stole your dad's car
Drove all night down Imperial Highway
You kept sayin' ââ¬ÅMaybe we should turn around,ââ¬Â
And I said ââ¬ÅIt don't take much to get away.ââ¬Â
But I still work the same job
Just live with my mom for free
ââ¬ËCause ever since the old man passed on
It just got harder to leave.
Guess that's all that I've got to tell you
I guess things turned out how they're meant to be
I just hope that this letter finds you
But until then I'll just keep it with me.
And I still work the same job
Just live with my mom for free
ââ¬ËCause ever since the old man passed on
It just got harder to leave.
