Signed, Love Wynonna

Wynonna was a girl just passing through
She had long dark hair and an attitude
Each story we'd share, the fonder I grew 'til we fell in love
But ol' Wynonna had a rambling heart
Eyes for the road and a brand-new start
I said, "Take off, baby, you can always find me again"

She said, "Baby, when I find something better
I'll make sure to send you a letter"
Was a long eight months since she hit the state line
Before my first letter arrived

She said, "I found me some work out in Gallatin county
At a big ranch there in the south river valley
I ride an ol' paint that gets better every time
She ain't much but I made her and she treats me fine

Found an ol' k10 with the four on the floor
Like the one that my daddy used to drive before
I like to take it on trips with the windows down
It makes me feel like he's still around

I think I like it here now way out west
Done found the place that I love best
So meet me up here, baby, if you wanna"
Signed "Love, Wynonna"

Shoulda hopped a train, took a head first dive
Dropped what I was doing and lived my life
But I was too busy just working for the city
And looking back now, hindsight's 2020
Lately, only thing getting me by
Is some old love letters and a bottle of rye
I like to keep 'em folded up in a cigar tin
And when I'm missing you, I read the letters again

She said, "My old paint horse is now top of the line
She can cut, she can reign, she can stop on a dime
Started playing my songs at the local bar
And the folks down there think I could really go far

The weather's been hard and the winters are cold
And I'm getting lonely if the truth be told
So meet me up here, baby, if you're gonna"
Signed "Love, Wynonna"

Still remember that dreaded day
When I got that letter on the sixth of May
I opened it up and I read the first line
And I damn near cried

"This gonna be my last letter you see
I don't want an excuse or an apology
Gotta understand, I couldn't wait forever
And I need more than a damn love letter
Molly set me up with a real nice guy
And I think I'ma give him a try
I hope you find your own nirvana"
Signed "Take care, be well, Wynonna"

Be well, Wynonna
Wy-Wynonna
Wy-Wynonna
Wy-Wynonna
Wy-Wynonna
