Intro
Verse 1
My dearest son, it's almost June
I hope this letter catches up with you
And finds you well
It's been dry but they're callin' for rain
Everything's the same ol' same
In Johnsonville
Pre-chorus
Your stubborn old daddy ain't said too much
But I'm sure you know he sends his love
And she goes on, in a letter from home
Chorus
I hold it up and show my buddies like we ain't scared
and our boots ain't muddy, and they all laugh
Like there's somethin' funny 'bout the way I talk
When I say mama sends her best ya'll
I fold it up and put it in my shirt
Pick up my gun and get back to work
And it keeps me drivin' on
Waitin' on, letters from home
Verse 2
My dearest, love it's almost dawn
I've been lyin' here all night long
Wonderin' where you might be
I saw your mama and I showed her the ring
Man on the television said something
So I couldn't sleep
Pre-chorus
But I'll be alright, I'm just missin' you
And this is me kissin' you, X's and O's
In a letter from home
Chorus
I hold it up and show my buddies like we ain't scared
and our boots ain't muddy, and they all laugh
Cause she calls me honey but they take it hard
Cause I don't read the good part
I fold it up and put it in my shirt
Pick up my gun and get back to work
And it keeps me drivin' on
Waitin' on, letters from home
Bridge
Dear son, I know I ain't written
But sittin' here tonight alone in the kitchen it occurs to me
I might not have said it so I'll say it now
Son, you make me proud
Chorus
I hold it up and show my buddies like we ain't scared
and our boots ain't muddy, but no one laughs
Cause there ain't nothin' funny when a soldier cries
And I just wipe my eyes
I fold it up and put it in my shirt,
Pick up my gun and get back to work,
And it keeps me drivin' on
Waitin' on, letters from home
