You might think there's some big reason Why I took this time to write The cards and letters there been too few of those But I just stopped to realize, how long did I been home There's a few small things I need to know Dear Daddy, do the Whippoorwill still echo through the night? Does the sound of silence squeeze the morning light? And have you cropped the field in the pond just down the road I miss you so Well, the years keeps slipping by Like the miles out on the road Well, I don't guess I'll change my way of life There's no harm in holdin' memories So please tell me if you can I need to bring them old times inside Dear Momma, can you still find the dipper in stars? And do the roads still go for hours without cars? And does the frost still shine, cold morning On the grass outside the door Just like before, tell me more And I'll be back to see you sometimes soon Can you still reach out and almost touch the moon? And do the old songs still ring out Through the hills for days and days Love always
