Well we'd all head to Waco, for the birth of our Lord

My folks and my brother in an 82 Ford

Play fetch with old Buster, call each other names

Aunt Betty'd be singing while supper was cookings

We'd unwrap the gifts when no one was lookin

Let's all gather round, Grandpa say the blessing

Well this present's a sweater and the pie don't taste right
