Grateful For Christmas

歌詞

Well, we'd all head to Waco For the birth of our Lord My folks and my brother in an '82 Ford We pull in a drive-way filled up with cars Old aunts and old uncles, Lord, I see stars Then we'd run to the kitchen You know kids and their games Play fetch with old Buster Call each other names And Paddy be singin' 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 presents a sweater And the pie don't taste right And dad and the TV are starting to fight I wish I had a drink or maybe a dozen Lord, what I'd give for one good looking cousin So let's all gather round Dad, you say the blessing Aunt Jane, she fell asleep Mary Kay forgot the dressing But we got all of our friends and family here And now I'm grateful for Christmas this year Hey mom, how you doin'? Yeah, I miss him too Nah, the Christmas lights don't make your hair look blue The cousins ain't coming and John's overseas And guess my wife loves her folks more than me But the ladies from the church said they might stop by and I brought you this picture, oh mama, don't cry Let's play cards and watch the news channel I love you too, thanks for the flannel So let's all gather around I guess I'll say the blessing Aunt Jane, she fell asleep And I never cared for dressin' But we got all of our friends and family here And now I'm grateful for Christmas this year Oh, I'm grateful for Christmas this year
