[C]
My dearest son, it's almost June I hope this letter catches up with you
[F] And finds you well It's [C] been dry but they're calling for rain
And everything's the same, oh same, Johnsonville
[Am] Your stubborn [G] old daddy ain't said [C] too much
But I'm sure you know [Dm] he sends his love And she [G] goes on in a letter [C] from home
[F] I hold it up and show my buddies like We ain't scared and our boots ain't muddy
[C] And they all laugh like [G] there's something funny about [Am] the way I talk
When I say mama sends [F] her best y'all I fold it up and put it in my shirt
Pick up my gun and get back to work [C] [G] And it keeps me driving [Am] on
Waiting [F] on [G]
letters [C] from home My dearest love, it's almost dawn
I've been lying here all night long [F] Wondering where you might be
[C] I saw your mama and I showed her the ring Man on the television said something
So I couldn't sleep [Am] But I'll be [G] alright, I'm just [F] missing you
And this is [Dm] me kissing you X's [G] and O's in a letter [C] from home
[F] I hold it up and show my buddies like We ain't scared and our boots ain't muddy
[C] And they all laugh [G] because she calls me honey [Am] But they take it hard because I don't [F] read the good part
I fold it up and put it in my shirt Pick up my gun and get back to work
[C] [G] And it keeps me driving [Am] on Waiting [F] on [G]
letters [C] from home
[F] Dear son, I know I ain't written Sitting here tonight alone in the kitchen [C] near the cursed me
[G] I might not have said [Am] it, so I'll say it now Son, [F] you make me proud
[Gm] I hold it up and show my buddies like We ain't scared and our boots ain't muddy
[C] But no one laughs [G] because there ain't nothing funny [Am] when a soldier cries
[Am] And I [F] just wipe my eyes
I fold it up and put it in my shirt Pick up my gun and get back to work
[C] [G] And it keeps me driving [Am] on Waiting [F] on
