A Correspondence

Jimmy writes, "We miss you back home but you had to go
If you don't try now, you'll never know
It's your show, give 'em what for"

Louise writes, "Jimmy, I knew you'd understand
I'm a damn fool never making you my man
My best friend, Jim"

Jimmy writes, "Don't waste no time worrying over me
You'll be there in no time if they see what I see, Louise"

Louise writes, "The grind out here ain't no joke
The air makes a country girl wanna choke
It's all smoke that they blow"

Jimmy writes, "Just pick yourself up and walk on
Enclosed you'll find a ten to get drunk on, don't tell your mom
Little girl, stay strong"

Louise writes, "Jimmy I wanna come home
I'm beat and tired and I'm all alone
Gonna call on the phone in a week or so"

Jimmy writes, "If a need is bad enough to hock it all
Ain't no deed bad enough to haunt your soul
But that's just Niccolò. Baby, I don't know"

Louise writes, "Jim, I met a man, he's in movies!
With a script he wants me to read
Or do some scene. Or something
Love, Louise"
