I was playin' Santa Claus downtown on Christmas Eve, When a little girl of three or four climbed up on to my knee. I could tell she had a Christmas wish behind those eyes of blue, So I asked her: "What's your name an' what can Santa get for you?" She said: "My name is Christmas Carol, I was born on Christmas day. "I don't know who my Daddy is an Mummy's gone away. "All I want for Christmas is someone to take me home. "Does anybody want a Christmas Carol of their own." Well all that I could say was Santa'd do the best he could, An' I sat her down and told her: "Now remember to be good." She said: "I will", then walked away; turned an' waved goodbye, An' I'm glad she wasn't close enough to see ol' Santa cry. She said: "My name is Christmas Carol, I was born on Christmas day. "I don't know who my Daddy is an Mummy's gone away. "All I want for Christmas is someone to take me home. "Does anybody want a Christmas Carol of their own." Instrumental Break. Early Christmas mornin', I got up an' dialled the 'phone, An' made a few arrangements with the County Children's Home. They told me it would be all right, to pick her today: Now my little Christmas Carol won't ever have to say: "My name is Christmas Carol, I was born on Christmas day. "I don't know who my Daddy is an Mummy's gone away. "All I want for Christmas is someone to take me home. "Does anybody want a Christmas Carol of their own." Well, Merry Christmas, Carol, I love you: welcome home!

He wondered how she'd take it When he said goodbye Thought she might do some cryin' Lose some sleep at night But he had no idea When he hit the road That without him in her life She'd let herself go She let herself go on a single's cruise To vegas once then honolulu Let herself go to new york city A week at the spa Came back knocked out pretty When he said he didn't love her no more She let herself go She poured her heart and soul into their three bedroom ranch Spent her days raisin' babies ironing his pants Came home one day from the grocery store And found his note And without him there to stop her She let herself go Let herself go on her first blind date Had the time of her life With some friends at the lake Let herself go buy a brand new car Drove to the beach He'd always said was too far Sand sure felt good between her toes To vegas once... honolulu... new york city Came back... Knocked out pretty... bought a brand new car 2002 10

When I see her comin' down the street, I get so shaky and I feel so weak, I tell my eyes to look the other way, But they don't seem to hear a word I say, And I Go to pieces and I want to cry, Go to pieces and I almost die, Every time my baby passes by. I tell my arms they'll hold someone new, Another love that will be so true, But they won't listen they don't seem to care, They reach for her, but she's not there, And I Go to pieces and I want to cry, Go to pieces and I almost die, Every time my baby passes by. I remember what she said when she said, "Good-bye Baby, we'll meet again soon maybe, But until we do, all my best to you." I'm so lonely, think about her only. I go to places that we used to go, But I know she'll never show, She's hurt me so much inside, Now I hope that she is satisfied, 'Cause I Go to pieces and I want to cry, Go to pieces and I almost die, Every time my baby passes by

George Strait & Dean Dillon I'm on my way to Amarillo I can't seem to get my fill of That little West Texas town.

I'd a spent a lot more time In the pourin' rain without an umbrella Coverin' my head And i'd a stood up to that bully When he pushed and called me names But i was too afraid And i'd a gone on and saw elvis That night he came to town Mama said i couldn't And i'd a went skinny dippin' With jenny carson that time she dared me to And i didn't And i wish i'd a spent more time With my dad when he was alive Now i don't have that chance And i wish i'd a told my brother How much i loved him before he went off to war But i just shook his hand And i wish i'd a gone to church On sunday morning when my grandma begged me to But i didn't believe in god And i wish i would've listened When they said boy you're gonna wish you hadn't But i wouldn't Br@ People say they wouldn't change a thing Even if they could But i would There was this blue dress She wanted one time so bad she could taste it I shouldn've bought it but i didn't She wanted to paint our bedroom yellow Trim it in blues and g

Why the good mind to buy me a pint, Get drunk and lay out all night. It's been a week long war at home with that woman of mine. Could call an old number or two, Might as well if I'm being accused, Her thinkin' I'm-A doin' her wrong ain't-A doin' me right... She'd be sorry if I don't call, Walk the floor and climb the walls. My pillow is all she'll have her back turned on tonight. Ahh but I love her too much to step out, I wish she loved me beyond a doubt. Her thinkin' I'm-a doin' her wrong ain't-A doin' me right... Oh that number she found in my shirt, Is just a new girl that hired at work. Her and her husband invited us over some night. You'd think after all this time, She'd know I'm not the cheatin' kind. Her thinkin' I'm-A doin' her wrong ain't-A doin' me right... She'd be sorry if I don't call, Walk the floor and climb the walls. My pillow is all she'll have her back turned on tonight. Ahh but I love her too much to step out, I wish she loved me beyond a doubt, Her thinkin' I'm-A doin' her wrong ain't-A doin' me right...
