Dear Ma I'd like to call you mother though I can't be bothered now Busy playing another place, singing to a crowd But I mentioned your name Since you can't be here yourself I know it ain't the same Don't have to say it I can tell Well your boy he's been dreaming of this life for so long Claims it's all he's ever needed, yet why's it feel so wrong No one could ever do for me what you have done I miss you Ma And I love you dearly Sincerely, Your Son Dear Pa Raised yourself a good son, though it often looks the other way But I can guarantee you no one will ever take your place And I mentioned your name to the same crowd as I did Ma Cause even though you're by me you're why I'm on a stage Singing my songs And your boy he's been dreaming of this life for so long Claims it's all he's ever needed, yet why's it feel so wrong No one could ever do for me what you have done I thank you Pa And I love you dearly Sincerely, Your Son Well your boy he's been dreaming fantasies up in the air But a dream without y'all is what I'd call a nightmare 'Cause no one could ever do for me what y'all have done I thank you Pa And I miss you Ma And I love you both dearly Sincerely, Your Son
