Christmas Card From a Hooker in Minneapolis |
| Hey Charlie I’m pregnant and living on 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 |
| He says that he loves me even though it’s not his baby |
| 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 |
| Charlie I think about you when I pass the fillin' station |
| On account of all the grease you used to wear in your hair |
| And I still have that record of Little Anthony and the Imperials |
| But someone stole my record player, how do you like that? |
| Charlie I almost went crazy when Mario got busted |
| Went back to Omaha to live with my folks |
| And everyone I used to know was either dead or in prison |
| Came back to Minneapolis, this time I think I’m gonna stay |
| Charlie I think I’m happy, first time since my accident |
| I wish I had all that money we used to spend on dope |
| I’d buy me a used car lot and I wouldn’t sell anything |
| Drive me a different car every day dependin' on how I feel |
| Hey Charlie for chrissakes if you want to know the truth of it |
| I don’t have me a husband and he don’t play the trombone |
| Gotta borrow money to pay this lawyer and Charlie hey |
| I’ll be eligible for parole come Valentine’s Day |
