Description

"Letters from Home" is the title of a song written by Tony Lane and David Lee, and recorded by American country music singer John Michael Montgomery. It was released in February 2004 as the second single from the album of the same name. It peaked at #2 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart in 2004 and also reached #24 on the Billboard Hot 100, his highest-ever peak on that chart.
The song is a portrayal of a soldier's life on overseas duty. In the song, it is mentioned how the soldier's mother and girlfriend write to him during his time overseas. In the first two letters (the first two verses), the letters are shared with a fair share of merriment among the soldier's comrades. The soldier's father is a very stubborn man in the song, but eventually admits to being proud of his son, which drives the son to tears and spreads an aura of solemnity among his comrades, as mentioned in the third verse.
