Grateful For Christmas
Well, we'd all head to Waco, for the birth of our Lord My folks and my brother in an '82 Ford We'd pull in the driveway filled up with cars Old aunts and old uncles, Lord I see stars And then we'd run to the kitchen, you know kids and their games Play fetch with old Buster, call each other names Aunt Betty'd be singing while supper was cooking We'd unwrap the gifts when no one was lookin' Let's all gather 'round, Grandpa say the blessing Aunt Jane, she fell asleep, Mary Kay burned the dressing But we got all of our friends and family here And I'm grateful for Christmas this year Well, this year, we're in Houston, let's all get together Man, I almost saw snow, can you believe this weather? Who's gonna be here? Uncle Frank can't make it Since Grandpa died, I don't know if Nana can take it Well, this present's a sweater and the pie don't taste right And Dad, and the TV, are startin' to fight I wish I had a drink or maybe a dozen Lord, what I'd give for one good lookin' cousin So let's all gather 'round, Dad you say the blessing Aunt Jane, she fell asleep, and Mary Kay forgot the dressing But we got all of our friends and family here SongtexteAnd I'm grateful for Christmas this year Hey Mom, how you doing? Yeah, I miss him too Nah, the Christmas lights don't make your hair look blue The cousins ain't coming and Jon's overseas And I guess my wife loves her folks more than me But the ladies from the church said, they might stop by I brought you this picture, ahh, mama don't cry Let's play cards and watch the news channel I love you too, and thanks for the flannel So let's all gather 'round, I guess I'll say the blessing Aunt Jane, she fell asleep, and I never cared for dressing But we got all of our friends and family here And I'm grateful for Christmas this year Oh, I'm grateful for Christmas this year Aus Songtexte Mania
