The Day Before Thanksgiving |
It s the day before Thanksgiving I m not feeling much of thanks |
Just a low-grade desperation leaves me reeling in the ranks |
Just when I think I m getting somewhere it s somewhere further to fall |
It s the day before Thanksgiving that is all |
I don t believe the pilgrims sat with Indians for a feast |
A self-proclaimed holy sailor doesn t break bread with his beast |
But then again he had a musket and the Indian had a knife |
And the musket man could make him eat for life |
I don t believe this country s manifestering destiny |
Someone just cooked it up and it is fed to you and me |
They tell us who to love and war and never ask for help |
And they cannot stand us thinking for ourselves |
The day before Thanksgiving back in 1991 |
A millionaire let me drive his Mercedes just for fun |
And I drove it with the top down on them Blue Ridge Mountain roads |
He let me keep it thirteen weeks or so |
And I know what he was saying with that car that wasn t mine |
That I could have one too if I just did not cross the line |
But lines were made for crossing and I was born to crack the code |
And there ain t no shame in walking down this road |
So it s turkey breast and stuffing with gravy on the top |
Mashed potatoes, peas and dinner rolls, you use them like a mop |
Got my position at the table, got a child to say my grace |
And a wife and boss that keeps me in my place |
It s the day before Thanksgiving I m not feeling much of thanks |
Just a low-grade desperation leaves me reeling in the ranks |
Just when I think I m getting somewhere it s somewhere further to fall |
It s the day before Thanksgiving that is all |
