Steve Earle - Christmas in washington

^EIt's Christmastime in Washington The ^ADemocrats rehearsed ^BGettin' into gear for four more years ^AThings not gettin' ^Eworse ^EThe Republicans drink whiskey neat And ^Athanked their lucky stars They said, 'He ^Bcannot seek another term They'll be ^Ano more ^Efdrs'

^EI sat home in Tennessee ^AStaring at the screen With an ^Buneasy feeling in my chest And I'm ^Awonderin' what it means

So ^Ecome back Woody Guthrie ^ACome back to us now ^BTear your eyes from paradise And ^Arise again some^Ehow If ^Eyou run into Jesus Maybe ^Ahe can help you out ^BCome back Woody Guth^Arie ^Bto us ^Enow

And a ^Aman can't get around So I ^Bsold my soul for wheels that roll Now I'm ^Astuck here in this ^Etown

So ^Ecome back Woody Guthrie ^ACome back to us now ^BTear your eyes for paradise And ^Arise again some ^Ehow If ^Eyou run into Jesus Maybe ^Ahe can help,you out ^BCome back Woody Guth^Arie ^Bto us ^Enow

^ESo come back, Emma Goldman ^ARise up, old Joe Hill The ^Bbarracades are goin' up They ^Acannot break our ^Ewill ^ECome back to us, Malcolm X And ^AMartin Luther King ^BWe're marching into Selma As the ^Abells of ^Bfreedom ^Ering

So ^Ecome back Woody Guthrie ^ACome back to us now ^BTear your eyes for paradise And ^Arise ^Bagain some ^Ehow
