She picks up where she left off
Nothing changes down here
Empty bottles on the table
And a fridge filled with beer
It's a long way from the city
In a tight time of year
Merry Christmas and thanks for the cheer
The TV in the back room
In a 5.1 sound
His hearing is fading
He speaks way too loud
There's a movie that he's wanted
To watch now s he's here
Merry Christmas and thanks for the cheer
The flies are relentless
It's humid and hot
Swim while you're walking
Sink when you stop
He lives all alone
For reasons unclear
Merry Christmas and thanks for the cheer
Don't you pretend to be stable
Or lie when you say that you're able
To keep up this thing that you've started
She can see through and won't disregard you
Love is a gift given freely
She stayed for a week
Now it's time to go home
A cuddle and kiss
Watch for cops on the road
Time is a thief
Guess I'll see you next year
Merry Christmas and thanks for the cheer
Merry Christmas and thanks for the cheer
