Edmund 給了一 首耶誕歌,不是歡樂的或者刺激消費的那種,而是關於家族的故事。我不是基督徒,但是家族的故事是每個人都擁有的。也有某些時刻我們會記得去感謝。
副歌部份,說到過去Grandpa said the blessing,後來dad said the blessing,以後換成這個兒子要去say the blessing..家族傳承有形的,也傳承無形的。
德州腔唱起 '82福特車,真有那種滄桑的懷舊感。
歌詞很長,畢竟是個故事。句子平淡卻實在。
Ps. Waco是德州的一個城市

附上和弦版不負責任歌詞:
G
Well we'd all head to Waco, for the birth of our Lord
C
My folks and my brother in an 82 Ford
D
We'd pull in the driveway filled up with cars
C D
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
Chorus:
C G C G
Let's all gather round, Grandpa say the blessing
C G G D
Aunt Jane, she fell asleep, Mary Kay burned the dressing
C G
But we got all our friends and family here
C D G
And I'm grateful for Christmas this year
Well this year we're in Houston, lets all get together
Man I almost 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 starting to fight
I wish I had a drink or maybe a dozen
Lord what I'd give for one good lookin cousin
Chorus:
So lets all gather round, dad you say the blessing
Aunt Jane, she fell asleep, Mary Kay burned the dressing
But we got all 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 light don't make your hair look blue
The cousins ain't coming Jon's overseas
And I guess my wife loves her folks more then 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
Chorus:
So lets all gather round, I gues I'll say the blessing
Aunt Jane, she fell asleep, Mary Kay burned the dressing
But we got all our friends and family here
And I'm grateful for Christmas this year
