John Prine - Christmas In Prison Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • It was christmas in prison
  • And the food was real good
  • We had turkey and pistols
  • Carved out of wood
  • And I dream of her always
  • Even when I dont dream
  • Her names on my tongue
  • And her bloods in my stream.
  • Chorus:
  • Wait awhile eternity
  • Old mother natures got nothing on me
  • Come to me
  • Run to me
  • Come to me, now
  • Were rolling
  • My sweetheart
  • Were flowing
  • By god!
  • She reminds me of a chess game
  • With someone I admire
  • Or a picnic in the rain
  • After a prairie fire
  • Her heart is as big
  • As this whole goddamn jail
  • And shes sweeter than saccharine
  • At a drug store sale.
  • Chorus:
  • The search light in the big yard
  • Swings round with the gun
  • And spotlights the snowflakes
  • Like the dust in the sun
  • Its christmas in prison
  • Therell be music tonight
  • Ill probably get homesick
  • I love you. goodnight.
  • Chorus:
