My Dreams of Christmas
Quelle: Spotify
It started in October
About the same time as last year
Daddy quit another job
And went back to drinking beer
Halloween came and went
I was a laughing stock at school
I guess a flannel shirt and holey jeans
Are the costume of a fool
Thanksgiving we had lunchmeat
And bread and mayonnaise
And daddy blessed the lord all day
In his own special way
The leaves of fall had held on
For as long as they could hold
And even as they fell
I held my dreams of red and gold
My dreams of Christmas
Keep me going all year long
But seems like things fall apart
About this time of year
Nothing seems to work out
Like in them holy songs
And to top it off
Santa's never been by here
On the first day of December
Mama's eyes were black and blue
That seems to happen
Every time the rent is overdue
I ask daddy why
She always bumps into the door
He said that she's just nervous
Not to bother him no more
There was no tree on Christmas eve
The living room was bare
From stories that I've read on him
Maybe Santy wouldn't care
Morning came, my big bright eyes
Filled up with big bright tears
I didn't get the presents
That I didn't get last year
They promised me the north pole
Would put gifts on lay away
And bragged on what a good boy
That I had been
They said we did our best
To give you a Christmas day
But you got screwed
By Santy Claus again
My dreams of Christmas
Keep me hoping all year around
I guess my little prayers
Don't work on big old sin
Maybe things don't work out
On our side of town
Or just maybe this year
Daddy will drop in
