Sugarland, originally made up of lead singer Jennifer Nettles and background vocals/guitar Kristian Bush, and Kristen Hall came together in late 2002, have been writing their own music, and finally released "Twice the Speed of Life" in 2004. Their first single, "Baby Girl" made history by staying on the country charts of almost an entire year. Their other hits include "Something More, "Just Might (Make Me Believe)", and their latest "Down In Mississippi (Up To No Good)". Now, three years later, founding member Kristen Hall has left the group, and remaining members Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush released thier second hit album "Enjoy the Ride" in November of last year. The album has now gone platinum, and the first single off that record, "Want To" became Sugarland's very first #1.

Baby Girl Lyrics

Sugarland

They say in this town, stars stay up all night,
Well, I don t know, can t see em for the glow of the neon lights.
An' it's a long way from here to the place where the home fires burn.
Well it's two thousand miles and one left turn.

"Dear Mom and Dad,
"Please send money: I m so broke that it ain t funny.
"Well, I don't need much; just enough to get me through.
"Please don t worry 'cause I'm all right,
"I m playin here at the bar tonight.
"Well, this time, I m gonna make our dreams come true.
"Well, I love you more than anything in the world,
"Love,
"Your baby girl."

Black jack, blue sky: big town full of little white lies.
Well, everybody s your friend: you can never be sure.
They'll promise fancy cars an' diamond rings, an' all sorts of shiny things,
But, girl, you ll remember what your knees are for.

"Dear Mom and Dad,
"Please send money: I m so broke that it ain t funny.
"Well, I don't need much; just enough to get me through.
"Please don t worry 'cause I'm all right,
"See, I m playin here at the bar tonight.
"Well, this time, I m gonna make our dreams come true.
"Well, I love you more than anything in the world,
"Love,
"Your baby girl."

I know that I m on my way.
Well, I can tell every time I play.
An' I know it s worth all the dues I pay,
When I can write to you and say:

"Dear Mom and Dad,
"I ll send money. I m so rich that it ain t funny.
"Well it oughtta be more than enough to get you through.
"Please don t worry 'cause I m all right,
"See, I m stayin here at the Ritz tonight
"Whaddya know, we made our dreams come true.
"An' there are fancy cars an' diamond rings,
"But you know that they don't mean a thing.
"Well, they all add up to nothin' compared to you.
"Well, remember me in ribbons an' curls.
"I still love you more than anything in the world:
"Love,
"Your baby girl."

Ah yeah.

Your baby girl.
("Dear Mom and Dad,
("Please send money: I m so broke that it ain t funny.)
("Don't need much; just enough to get me through.)
Your baby girl.
("Please don t worry 'cause I'm all right,
("Playin here at the bar tonight.)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh.)
Dreams come true.
