Letter She Sent

[Verse 1]
Mary came home with smoke in her hair
And her stockings on crooked, but she didn't care
Feet trippin' heavy as she climbed up the stair
Don't you get between her and that easy chair

[Chorus]
The day's too harsh, the night is too long
The band on the stage never played her song
Drinks were just wet, she got caught in a net
And she never had an answer to the letter she sent

[Verse 2]
Donna came home with a bag from the store
With her wallet a little lighter than it was before
She spent all she had and a few pennies more
She'll be looking good walking through an open door

[Chorus]
The day's too harsh, the night is too long
The band on the stage never played her song
Drinks were just wet, she got caught in a net
And she never had an answer to the letter she sent

[Bridge]
Chasin' after the night
Everything better by morning light

[Verse 3]
Julie came home with sand in her shoes
And the sun on her skin felt like good news
She's not sure just yet, she's starting to groove
Don't you come around talkin' 'bout yesterday's blues

[Outro]
The day's too harsh, the night is too long
The band on the stage finally played along
Drinks were all wet, she got caught in a net
And she never had an answer to the letter she sent
Sometimes you never get an answer to the letter you sent
And she never had an answer to the letter she sent
