(Verse 1)
A
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,
Everything's the same ol' same,

In Johnsonville,
(Bridge)
F#m E D
Your stuborn old daddy ain't said too much,
Bm
But I'm sure you know he sends his love,
Esus-E A
And she goes on, in a letter from home,
(Chorus)

I hold it up and show my buddy's like we ain't scared
A
and our boots ain't muddy, And they all laugh,
E F#m
Like there's somethin funny bout the way I talk,
D
When I say mama sends her best ya'll,
D
I fold it up and put it in my shirt,
Pick up my gun and get back to work,
A E F#m
And it keeps me drivin on,
D - E A
Waitin on, Letters from home,
(Verse 2)
A
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,
D
So I couldn't sleep,
(Bridge)

But I'll be alright I'm just missin you,
Bm Esus-E
And this is me kissin you, X's and O's,

Son you make me proud,
(Chorus)
D
I hold it up and show my buddy's like we ain't scared

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,
D - Esus - E A
Waitin on, Letters from home,
