It was Gchristmas in prison And the Cfood was real good
We had Gturkey and pistols Carved out of Dwood
And I Gdream of her always Even Cwhen I dont dream
Her Gnames on my tongue And her Dbloods in my Gstream.
Chorus:
DWait awhile CeterniGty
COld mother natures got Gnothing on Dme
GCome to me, Run to me
CCome to me, now
Were Grolling My sweetheart
Were Dflowing By Ggod
(Repeat Intro)
She Greminds me of a chess game With Csomeone I admire
Or a Gpicnic in the rain After a prairie Dfire
Her Gheart is as big As this Cwhole goddamn jail
And shes Gsweeter than saccharine At a Ddrug store Gsale.
(Chorus)
(Repeat Intro)
The Gsearch light in the big yard Swings Cround with the gun
And Gspotlights the snowflakes Like the dust in the Dsun
Its Gchristmas in prison Therell be Cmusic tonight
Ill Gprobably get homesick I Dlove you. goodGnight.
(Chorus)
