V1

 Left home 20 years ago
 Too ashamed to reach out to family
 The things I did
 Couldn't live by their rules
 A boy of 16 who thought he was a man

                         V2

 Dad was too proud a man to forgive
 The pride that blinds a man
 We both paid a price
 Two fools who refused
 To love each other as they should

                Chorus

 I wrote her a letter
 Told her I was sorry
 Wished things
 Could have been better
 Told her
 I missed my brother Corey
 In the mail I received Her Letter

 In the mail I received her letter

                     V3

 The tears flowed as I read her letter
 I missed you son
 Sorry to have to tell you this
 Your father died a month ago
 Cory died of cancer just last year
 I wished you had written me sooner

 Your dad and Corey loved you
 Please come home I need you
 This man cried like a baby
 As I read her letter
