Christmas in Dallas

Left tamales and Tecates
For Santa on a paper plate
He wears a tank top and flip flops 'round here
We hide the good stuff
When shifty cousins show up
We trade $10 gift cards from Sears
All the fine china got lost when mom died
Don't know if Daddy'll be Jekyl or Hyde
It's Christmas in Dallas

Baby Jesus gone missing
Teenagers kissing
Behind the manger scene down at the church
Fred's fresh out of prison
His ankle is a-buzzing
Grandpa's stuck in his armchair perch
Looks like the Kids table's been sneaking some drinks
Re-Filling the bottles in the kitchen sink
It's Christmas in Dallas

No Chestnuts roasting
No white Christmas hoping
Bars are always open
Looks like we're all going
It's Christmas in Dallas

Dancer and Prancer
Have tinsel on their antlers
Billy Bass flounders on the wall
Meemaw didn't get the memo
Her Shirley temple
Ain't supposed to have tequila at all
Listening to stories round a can of mixed nuts
Fillin' it with ashes and cigarette butts
It's Christmas in Dallas

No Chestnuts roasting
No white Christmas hoping
Bars are always open
Looks like we're all going
It's Christmas in Dallas
