Eddie Rabbitt - Letter From Home Lyrics

Eddie Rabbitt Lyrics

"Letter From Home"

It's too hot to walk to the mailbox
But I go to check it anyway
There's a letter from home from my brother Joe
I wonder what he's got to say

He says daddy's fine
But I'm afraid he thinks he's Napoleon again
But we're not worried here
'Cause he says victory is close at hand
And mamma is glad
He's such a confident man

You really oughta think about coming home
And they will be fine, just leave 'em a note
We got your candle burning and we sent you a plane
If I were you I wouldn't hesitate
You oughta think about coming home

I asked Eileen to marry me
And somehow she said, yes
But this came as no surprise
To anyone I guess

You know the job is fine
And the '59, she's running like a top
Remember we could always make it go
But we could never make it stop
We learned to be thankful
Forever what we got

You really oughta think about coming home
And they will be fine, just leave 'em a note
We got your candle burning and we sent you a plane
If I were you I wouldn't hesitate
You oughta think about coming home

Whoa, you really oughta think about it
You really oughta think about it
You really oughta think about coming home
You oughta think about coming home

We all love you here you know
And we understood when you had to go away
Can't be no music man in this little town anyway
But years got a way of slipping by
And I can count them in daddy's eyes
You gotta find some time one of these days
Oh, one of these days

You really oughta think about coming home
And they will be fine, just leave 'em a note
We got your candle burning and we sent you a plane
If I were you I wouldn't hesitate
You oughta think about coming home

You really oughta think about coming home
And they will be fine, just leave 'em a note
We got your candle burning and we sent you a plane
If I were you I wouldn't hesitate
You oughta think about coming home

Whoa, you really oughta think about coming home
And they will be fine, just leave 'em a note
We got your candle burning and we sent you a plane
If I were you I wouldn't hesitate
You oughta think about coming home
