My dear 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
And ev'rything's the same old same
In Johnsonville.
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.

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 something funny
'Bout the way I talk
When I say "Mama sends her best, y'all."

I fold it up and put it in my shirt
And pick up my gun and get back to work
And it keeps me drivin' on,
Waitin' on letters from home.

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.
But I'll be alright,
I'm just missin' you
And this is me kissin' you,
Exes and o's
In a letter from home.

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 parts.

I fold it up and put it in my shirt
And pick up my gun and get back to work
And it keeps me drivin' on,
Waitin' on letters from home.

Dear son, I know I ain't written
And sittin' here tonight alone in the kitchen,
It occurs to me
I might not have said this,
So I'll say it now:
"Son, you make me proud."

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's ain't nothin' funny
When a soldier cries.
And I just wipe my eyes.

I fold it up and put it in my shirt
And pick up my gun and get back to work
And it keeps me drivin' on,
Waitin' on letters from home.
