Hayes Carll - Grateful for Christmas lyrics

Well, we'd all head to Waco
For the birth of our Lord
My folks and my brother in an '82 Ford
We'd pull in the driveway filled up with cars
Old aunts and old uncles, Lord I see stars
And then we'd run to the kitchen
You know kids and their games
Play fetch with old Buster
Call each other names
Aunt Betty'd be singing while
Supper was cooking
We'd unwrap the gifts when no one was lookin'

Let's all gather 'round
Grandpa say the blessing
Aunt Jane, she fell asleep
Mary Kay burned the dressing
But we got all of our friends and family here
And I'm grateful for Christmas this year
Well, this year, we're in Houston
Let's all get together
Man, I almost saw snow
Can you believe this weather?
Who's gonna be here? Uncle
Frank can't make it since Grandpa died
I don't know if Nana can take it
Well, this present's a sweater and
The pie don't taste right
And Dad, and the TV, are startin' to fight
I wish I had a drink or maybe a dozen
Lord, what I'd give for
One good lookin' cousin

So let's all gather 'round
Dad you say the blessing
Aunt Jane, she fell asleep
And Mary Kay forgot the dressing
But we got all of our friends and family here
And I'm grateful for Christmas this year

Hey Mom, how you doing? yeah, I miss him too
Nah, the Christmas lights don't make
Your hair look blue
The cousins ain't coming and Jon's overseas
And I guess my wife loves
Her folks more than me
But the ladies from the church said
They might stop by
I brought you this picture, ahh
Mama don't cry
Let's play cards and watch the news channel
I love you too, and thanks for the flannel

So let's all gather 'round
I guess I'll say the blessing
Aunt Jane, she fell asleep
And I never cared for dressing
But we got all of our friends and family here
And I'm grateful for Christmas this year
Oh, I'm grateful for Christmas this year
