I Don't Mind Christmas
04:37

Walking out from Frisco in the rain
She said don’t you come back here again
She said she wanted nothing to do with me
I loved her so but I don’t mind being free
She said I didn’t watch the shows she likes
She said I was rude to the neighbours and kept getting into fights
She said I made some mildly racist comments at a party with her uncle that one time
And maybe I did, maybe she’s right or maybe she’s lyin’
But I’ll tell you this one thing right now
I don’t mind Christmas
It’s really not that bad a time of the year
I don’t mind Christmas
A little brandy eggnog instead of a beer
I don’t mind Christmas
But she wasn’t it’s biggest fan
I guess that was one thing about me
She couldn’t understand
That I didn’t mind Christmas
She said I used to get drunk and take dumps in her favourite shoes
She said she once caught me with four different women trying to choose
She said I once got arrested for threatening a statue of Ulysses S Grant with a loaded gun
She said she could cope with it all but there was just one thing about me that wasn’t fun
And that’s I don’t really mind Christmas
Honestly I could take or leave it
I just don’t mind Christmas
There’s lights and tinsel and all of that shit
I don’t mind Christmas, people are slightly nicer than they were the month before
And I don’t mind Christmas but for her that was the final straw
Because she really hates Christmas
Hates deep down to her core
She really hates Christmas
I never came across that before
What kind of person doesn’t like Christmas
I mean how bad must she be
Sure she recycles, donates food to the shelters and has a noble peace prize but she doesn’t like Christmas like me!

Christmas on the Road
05:00
|
|||
Mary steps into the kitchen
A vision Christmas morning
We’re in the living room
The tree we are adornin
And the old Cadillac up on blocks
In the front yard
But we’ll celebrate Christmas if times are good
Or if they’re hard
We went to the grocery store as a family
To escape the landlord
And bought the best bird we could find
for what we thought we could afford
With two kids in the back of my pick up
you were Everything to me,
Oh Mary let’s just keep on driving
To as far as our eyes can see
Let’s have Christmas on the road
Let’s see the land
Let’s live as free
As any people can
We won’t just have one small tree
We can have a whole row
Let’s gas her up and see just how far that we can go
We’ll pick up hitchhikers and let them join in our feast
Of some chips, a few twinkies and whatever the gas station had to eat
We’ll meet the salt of the earth, we’ll break bread
We’ll see this whole wide land of ours
Please tell me Mary this is everything your heart desires
Let’s have Christmas on the road
Let’s follow the white lines to the holiday
If home is where the heart is
Then with you and the kids
home is any place
And your presence is presents enough for me
There’s nothing better than your lady, an old car, the road, America and a motel room TV
Everyone should join us
Having Christmas on the road
We’ll form a convoy and watch the sky above the horizon explode
With lights and holly and wrapping paper confetti
and let’s put behind us all the things that are worth forgetting

Miscellaneous Plumbing Fixtures New Milford, Connecticut
Songwriting and banging your instruments together
The main thing I love to do is write
songs. I pick up various instruments from ukulele to piano, accordion to percussion and electric guitar to harmonica and bang them about to try and get close to the noises I hear in my head but the writing comes first.
