A Letter to Dustin

Lyrics

LA, Monday The fifth of November Hello, my sad little son If your mama will read you the letter I sent you I'll tell you all I've done I left out of Nashville on a big jet plane Out of the foothills I flew High over Memphis and Little Rock, Arkansas Right through a thunderstorm, too I changed planes in Dallas, I tried to call But I guess the phone lines weredown Then up out of Texas, clean over the desert And I landed in this big ole' town You remember how you'd ask me how much I love you? And I'd tell you - as deep asthe sea And you'd hold your arms out as far as you could You'd say that's how much you love me Well, yesterdayI drive right down to thato cean It didn't look near deep enough To set sail on oneof your dime store toy boats Or hold even half of your love So, you bee a good guy now Go kiss your little sister Give another to your sweet mama too I'll be home as soon as I lasso the moon 'Cause that's what I set out to do Just rembmer how you'd ask me how much I love you I'd tell you - as deep as the sea Well, I've seen that ocean now And it ain't deep enough To hold how much you mean to me
