[4/4, uptempo]
ANOTHER CRAPPY CHRISTMAS
--Don Varnell (lyrics), J. Wrabek (music)
V1
I tried to call you on the cell phone
But the jailer took it away for bad behavior
What a thing to do the day we celebrate the birthday of the Savior.
The bondsman says he's ready but there's no judge around to set my bail.
It's another crappy Christmas incarcerated in the county jail
CHORUS
It's another crappy Christmas incarcerated in the county jail
With a sugar plum fairy staring at me from the corner of the cell
On the floor a snoring Santa and his elf sleep it off back to back
And this lonesome cowboy wishes he was in your arms instead of where he's at
V2
I finally wrote you a love letter
But the maid forgot to leave some extra Charmin
And the thought of tearing pages from the Bible on the tank is too alarming.
But the only other paper's laying trampled on the greasy concrete floor
So there's ink stains and I love you tattooed backwards on the inside of my shorts.
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Silent Night at midnight sung off key is making everybody sad
And this lonesome cowboy wishes he was in your arms instead of where he's at
