This title is a cover of Letters From Home as made famous by John Michael Montgomery

My dearest son it's almost June
I hope this letter catches up with you and finds you well
It's been dry but they're callin' for rain
And everything's the same old same in Johnsonville
Your stubborn old daddy ain't said too much
But I'm sure you know he sends his love
And she goes on in a letter from home
I hold it up and show my buddies like
We ain't scared and our boots ain't muddy
And they all laugh like there's something funny 'bout the way I talk
When I say mamma sends her best y'all
I fold it up and put it in my shirt
Pick up my gun and get back to work
And it keeps me drivin' on waitin' on letters from home
My dearest love it's almost dawn
I've been lyin' here all night long wonderin' where you might be
I saw your mamma and
I showed her the ring
Man on the television said somethings so I couldn't sleep
But I'll be alright
I'm just missin' you
And this is me kissin' you
X's and O's in a letter from home
I hold it up and show my buddies like
We ain't scared and our boots ain't muddy
And they all laugh 'cos she calls me honey
But they take it hard 'cos I don't read the good parts
I fold it up and put it in my shirt
Pick up my gun and get back to work
And it keeps me drivin' on waitin' on letters from home
Dear son I know I ain't written
I'm sittin' here tonight
Alone in the kitchen it occurs to me
I might not have said it so I'll say it now son you make me proud
I hold it up and show my buddies like
We ain't scared and our boots ain't muddy
But no one laughs 'cos there's ain't nothin' funny
When a soldier cries and I just wipe my eyes
I fold it up and put it in my shirt
Pick up my gun and get back to work
And it keeps me drivin' on waitin' on letters from home
