Silent Tree Music - Song Lyrics 

( Jimmy & Rosalynn Carter charity song lyrics )
JIMMY CARTER SENDS ME LETTERS
Copyright © 2008 - mickterry.com

1: My mother doesn't drink much, but she's got a case of whines,
all the old familiar ones that ev'ryone hears.
My mother doesn't think much 'cept for maybe all the time
that her only son is the perfect one 'cept he adds to all her fears.

2: My mother finds excitement when she opens up her mail
and right there's a letter from a for-mer Prez
and a dozen more endorsements from celebrities' Holy Grails.
& she takes them all very personal & she calls me up & says:

CHORUS A:
"Jimmy Carter sends me letters. Even Rosalynn signs them, too.
Robert Redford sent one just the other day.
Jimmy Carter sends me letters. But then, I never hear from you.
Would it help if I gave you envelopes,
pre-addressed & postage-paid?"

3: My mother thinks she's special that they're asking for her help.
She feels honored she gets mail from someone with fame.
& she's wanting to be helpful, but she doesn't have much wealth.
So she sends them some, says she's got a son & gives my address & name.

CHORUS B:
Jimmy Carter sends me letters. Even Rosalynn signs them, too.
Robert Redford sent one just the other day.
Jimmy Carter sends me letters. Would you like some sent to you?
Would it help if I gave them envelopes,
pre-addressed & postage-paid?

BRIDGE:
Charities, charities.
Who'd ever think I'd ever get enough of these?
Charities, charities.
I used to give to everyone
but it got to be ev'ryone under the sun.
I'm on mailing lists of mailing lists of mailing lists.
CHORUS B:
