Dear Shield, it's almost June
I hope this letter catches up with you
And finds you well
It's been dry
But they're calling for rain
And everything's the same old same
In Ponyville
Stubborn old Spike
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 hoofs ain't muddy
And they all laugh
Like there's something funny
'Bout the way I talk
When I say, "AJ sends her best, y'all"
I fold it up and put it in my armor
Pick up my spear and get back to work
And it keeps me driving on
Waiting on letters from home
My dearest love, it's almost dawn
I've been lying here all night long
Wondering where you might be
I saw Twilight
And I showed her the ring
Man in the newspaper
Said something
So I couldn't sleep
But I'll be alright,
I'm just missing you
And this is me kissing 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 hoofs ain't muddy
And they all laugh
'Cause she calls me honey,
But they take it hard
'Cause I don't read the good parts
I fold it up and put it in my armor
Pick up my spear and get back to work
And it keeps me driving on
Waiting on letters from home
Dear Shield, I know I ain't written
It's Spike, sitting here tonight alone in the kitchen
It occurs to me
I might not have said it
So I'll say it now
"Shield, You make me proud"
I hold it up and show my buddies
Like we ain't scared
And our hoofs ain't muddy
But no one laughs
'Cause there ain't nothing funny
When a Royal Guard cries
And I just wipe my eyes
I fold it up and put it in my armor
Pick up my spear and get back to work
And it keeps me driving on
Waiting on letters from home
