Got A Letter From My Kid Today - Merle Haggard, The Strangers

Got a letter from my kid today

They let me read a line or two

I lost my teddy bear, I can’t remember where

Daddy is he there with you?

In the letter he goes on to say

I’m so excited daddy dear

I found a little pup, I washed and brushed him up

Tell me can I keep him here?

Daddy here’s my puupy’s picture

Don’t you think he looks like me

We could be so happy

Only, without you it’s lonely.

That’s the letter from my kid today

Gee it makes me kinda blue

I know exactly how the kid is feeling now

'Cause I get mighty lonely too.
