She opened up the letter from Nashville TennesseeHe said hon they like my music the songs I wrote for you and meThe boys and me just cut a record and it could hit the charts before too longSo it's gonna be a while till I can come back homeYes I'm gonna be a country star and everyone will know my nameOh you know I love those bright lights when I step on stage to singI'll be travlin' round the country with a big bus and a bandSo just keep the homefires burnin' while I'm goneAnd I'll get home when I canShe said hon I hear your record oh they play it everydayAnd everybody really likes it so I guess your on your wayBut darling please remember we all need you here at homeAnd the kids all miss their daddy so don't be gone too longYes I know that your a country star and everybody knows your nameAnd I know you love those bright lights when you step on stage to singJust remember we all love you and don't get blinded by the lightWe'll just keep the homefires burnin' while you're goneYou know we pray for you each nightAfter six long months of goin' I guess the road just finally took its tollCause his songs has lost all meaning and he felt so all aloneThen one night in Jackson he went out on stage to playAnd the crowd stared at disbelief at the words he had to sayI don't want to be a country star it ain't the way I thought it'd beWell it took me such a long time to know that it ain't the life for meCause the days can get so lonely and the nights can get so longLord I think it's about time this country star went homeYes I think that it's about time this country boy went home
