She thought it reminded her of me, because of me wanting to join the army by the end of the year and make a career and have a family.
John Micheal Montgomery-Letters from home
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
And everything's the same ol' 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
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
X's 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
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
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
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' nothing 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
