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 |
| And 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 |
