Christmas Card From A Hooker In Minneapolis |
Hey Charlie I’m pregnant |
And living on the 9th Street |
Right above a dirty bookstore |
Off Euclid Avenue |
And I stopped takin dope |
And I quit drinkin whiskey |
And my old man plays the trombone |
And works out at the track |
And he says that he loves me |
Even though its not his baby |
And he says that he’ll raise him up |
Like he would his own son |
And he gave me a ring |
That was worn by his mother |
And he takes me out dancin |
Every Saturday night |
And hey Charlie I think about you |
Everytime I pass a fillin station |
On account of all the grease |
You used to wear in your hair |
And I still have that record |
Of Little Anthony & The Imperials |
But someone stole my record player |
Now how do you like that? |
Hey Charlie I almost went crazy |
After Mario got busted |
So I went back to Omaha to |
Live with my folks |
But everyone I used to know |
Was either dead or in prison |
So I came back to Minneapolis |
This time I think I’m gonna stay |
Hey Charlie I think I’m happy |
For the first time since my accident |
And I wish I had all the money |
That we used to spend on dope |
I’d buy me a used car lot |
And I wouldn’t sell any of em |
I’d just drive a different car |
Every day, dependin on how |
I feel |
Hey Charlie for Christsakes |
Do you want to know the |
Truth of it? |
I don’t have a husband |
He don’t play the trombone |
And I need to borrow money |
To pay this lawyer |
And Charlie, hey |
I’ll be eligible for parole |
Come Valentine’s Day |
