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?
