I hope this letter finds you
Wherever you may be
â‚¬ËœCause I mailed some awhile back
And they were all returned to me
Ainâ‚¬â„¢t nothinâ‚¬â„¢ I can tell you â‚¬Ëœbout the hometown
Everything changes, but nothingâ‚¬â„¢s new
Just Sunday night at the kitchen table
Finishinâ‚¬â„¢ a beer and thinkinâ‚¬â„¢ of you.

And I still work the same job
Just live with my mom for free
â‚¬ËœCause ever since the old man passed on
It just got harder to leave.

Well I heard a rumor that you got married
Though you swore that you never would
I guess you finally got your own kids now
You ever tell â‚¬Ëœem â‚¬Ëœbout the old neighborhood?
Like the time we stole your dadâ‚¬â„¢s car
Drove all night down Imperial Highway
You kept sayinâ‚¬â„¢ â‚¬Å“Maybe we should turn around,â‚¬?
And I said â‚¬Å“It donâ‚¬â„¢t take much to get away.â‚¬?

But I still work the same job
Just live with my mom for free
â‚¬ËœCause ever since the old man passed on
It just got harder to leave.

Guess thatâ‚¬â„¢s all that Iâ‚¬â„¢ve got to tell you
I guess things turned out how theyâ‚¬â„¢re meant to be
I just hope that this letter finds you
But until then Iâ‚¬â„¢ll just keep it with me.

And I still work the same job
Just live with my mom for free
â‚¬ËœCause ever since the old man passed on
It just got harder to leave.
