lyrics

Went to the mailbox yesterday
There she was between the bills to pay
And the junk from people I don't know
Her school girl script on an envelope
I recognize that hand
Got a letter in the U.S. Mail

Slit the seam with my pocket knife
Drank a chapter of her life
Got a fountain pen at the DAV
Ran right home and wrote to me
I'm a happy boy, yes sir Roy
Got a letter in the U.S. Mail

Read it once, read it twice
Probably gonna read it again tonight
'cause down at the bottom right above her name
The best three words in this living game
I love you
In a letter in the U.S. Mail

Now there's faster ways to be in touch
But they just don't amount to much
Compared to words that's wrote by hand
And sent halfway across the land
At a snail's pace
In a letter in the U.S. Mail
My baby sent me a letter in the U.S. Mail
