Hello mom and dad
What's been goin' on
I know it's been a while
Since I've written home
I like my new job
Sure, I like this town
But I finally got me something to write home about

[Chorus]
She's got long blond hair and deep blue eyes
She likes her music loud and walkin' in the moonlight
She laughs sometimes, sometimes until she cries
Oh mom I'm in love and dad I'm sure you'd be proud
'Cause I finally got me something to write home about

I got that raise in pay
Now I ain't just gettin' by
Looks like I'm on my way
I guess I must be livin' right
Oh, if my old friends
Could only see me now
'Cause I finally got me something to write home about

[Chorus]

Tag
Yeah, mom I'm in love and dad I'm sure you'd be proud
'Cause I've finally got me something to write home about
That girl is something
Yeah, she's something
