The Boxmasters - My Dreams of Christmas текст песни

Исполнитель: The Boxmasters

альбом: Christmas in California


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 was 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 little boy that I had been
They said we did our best to give you a Christmas day
But you got screwed by Santa Claus again
My dreams of Christmas keep me hoping all year around
I guess my 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
