lyrics

he kept a good luck charm pinned to the inside of his jacket
it was her picture - white shorts & a tank top, standing in the driveway
she hated that photograph - begged him to take any other
he said, 'there'll be more pictures, babe when i'm no longer away.'

she wrote him letters each week, he read them over and over
about the kids at school, the weather, the goings on around town
how it snowed every day, the worst winter on record
she'd had to call up the neighbors to come break the drive with their plow

she wonders why he doesn't write home
an email here, the occasional call, a distant voice on the line
she asked him, 'babe, tell me how are things there?'
he said 'you don't want to know, but i promise you love i'm all right.'

billy lost his first tooth. he tucked it under his pillow
and his sister got the leading role starring in the school play
she recorded the whole thing, so they could watch it together
but halfway through the first act she ran out of tape
