Grandmother's wheelchair is sitting in the corner |
|
We all sure love her but the little ones avoid her' |
|
Cause she's gray-haired and wrinkled, and her burden looks heavy |
|
Ninety years of survival can look awful scary |
|
Papa's building something and has since history |
|
But what he's building is still a mystery |
|
It's big and it's twisting, and shaped convoluted |
|
It don't have a function but you better salute it |
|
And it will never be finished but |
|
I guess that's the point |
|
It just gives him a filter and psychological ointment |
|
He woke up real early but he's late for his appointment |
|
And I sure wish that |
|
I had smoked me a joint |
|
It's Thanksgiving and |
|
Jesus, I'm thankful |
|
For abundance and bounty, and a big tall stiff drink full |
|
The love of |
|
Your mama and the love of mine too |
|
Thanksgiving is over and |
|
Christmas is soon |
|
Mama is trying to live in the present |
|
Don't let him have a heart attack before |
|
I pay off the presents |
|
Granddaddy's gone but she still feels his presence |
|
He tried to call but he didn't leave a message |
|
It's Thanksgiving and |
|
Jesus, I'm thankful |
|
For abundance and bounty, and a big tall stiff drink full |
|
The love of |
|
Your mama and the love of mine too |
|
Thanksgiving is over and |
|
Christmas is soon |
|
So put the food on the table and |
|
Papa says a blessing |
|
They're cutting up some turkey and gobbling some dressing |
|
My aunt's praising |
|
Palin and my niece loves |
|
ObamaMy uncle came to dinner wearing his pajamas |
|
Thank God for the filter that enables some distance |
|
From the screaming and crying, and the needs of assistance |
|
You wonder why |
|
I drink and curse the holidays |
|
Blessed be my family 300 miles away |
|
It's Thanksgiving and |
|
Jesus, I'm thankful |
|
For abundance and bounty, and a big tall stiff drink full |
|
The love of |
|
Your mama and the love of mine too |
|
Thanksgiving is over and |
|
Christmas is soon |
|
It's Thanksgiving, |
|
Jesus, I'm thankful |
|
For abundance and bounty, and a big tall stiff drink full |
|
The love of |
|
Your mama and the love of mine too |
|
Thanksgiving is over and |
|
Christmas is soon |
|
Thanksgiving is over and |
|
Christmas is soon |
|
Thanksgiving is over and |
|
Christmas is soon |
