Christmas In Vidor (feat. Mary Karr)[Rodney Crowell:]It's Christmas in Vidor, eighty-eight degrees The taco stands padlocked, Spanish moss hangin' from the trees Flip-flops stickin' to an asphalt road The whole damn town is decorated to implode My lawnmower dies with a cough and a moan Ain't nothin' around here you'd wanna stick a bow on [Mary Karr:] How'd I wind up down here, you might ask? For that story brother you're gonna have to pony up cash I planned to leave with a man dressed up like the president But we got him a union card, and we never went Pipe fittin' wasn't no fun So he got him a bass boat and he got him a gun He got me a duplex, he got me some kids We was gonna go to Astroworld but we never did [Both:] It's Christmas in Vidor Ain't it a bitch? It's Christmas in Vidor Give me the [?] itch It's Christmas in Vidor Nowhere to go It's Christmas in Vidor That's ash, that ain't snow [Rodney Crowell:] I won't build no snowman, won't drink no nog Just wander around in a bayou fog [Mary Karr:] Take out the turkey, lay down the grub Fix my face, do the dishes, throw the kids in the tub [Rodney Crowell:] Spend the late night standin' inside the fridge door Bathe in the green light and hungry for more [Mary Karr:] Backdoor's wide open, here's what I know The end of that driveway is as far as I'll go It's Christmas in Vidor Eighty-eight degrees It's Christmas in Vidor Oh Jesus please It's Christmas in Vidor Leave me alone It's Christmas in Vidor Just bein' here is gone [Both:] It's Christmas in Vidor Can't pay the bills It's Christmas in Vidor Just pop a few pills It's Christmas in Vidor My baby girl's due It's Christmas in Vidor Hope it don't look like you [Mary Karr:] I'll wear the school colors, I'll go to the game I'll take the prom pictures, don't they all look the same [Rodney Crowell:] Come Christmas in Vidor, this time next year I'll be hopped up and propped up on Prozac and beer |
