Mom and Dad,
Living in Michigan with Uncle Ray
He and Aunt Terry said I should write
Said I should write
Said I should write
I should phone you
Just don't have that much to say
See I've been bartending about three nights a week
A stand-up place and they're good to me
Still I stay bored, most all the time
Except for the cards that Ray and I play
He's the only friend I've got in this place
Still it's better than Wichita
Aunt Terry, she's fine
She wants you to know she's wrote a song
She's picking up where she left off
She's picking it back
And its been years since she's tried
God has it really been that long?
Mom I'm sorry I was wrong
Dad I'm sorry I just couldn't stay in that town
Where everyone knows everything about me
Michigan, she's alright
Still I haven't found a love
Just want to be happy
Love, your son
Just try to be happy
Love, your son

version 2
Capo:1st fret
Tuning: Standard
Capo 1st Fret (Notes not relative to capo, hope you find it easier to play as
you don't
make chord shapes. Just treat the 1's as open and play the rest as if there's
no capo.)
The tabs I've seen have the intro & verse tabbed a little differently.
this is how he plays it. There little variations in that section - mostly
when switching between the two parts.
