Oh, Nadine i hope you know Since you’ve been away This old place don’t feel like home It ain't the same If you need money don’t forget to ask But we can’t send much, you’ll have to try and make it last Oh, Nadine i hope you understand we’d do Anything for you Your brother got a job in town We see him every sunday Your mama keeps your room up nice She wants it to be ready Your little sisters begging me to write How much she envies you your california life As for me i hope you’ve had a little fun And i hope you’re almost done Your old sammy’s still around His leg is healing good He says he wants to settle down Maybe he could I hope that you can come and visit us If you two could patch things up that’d only be a plus Oh, Nadine i hope i haven’t made you mad, Your one and only dad
