Il Testo della canzone di:
Christmas In Vidor – Rodney Crowell

[Rodney Crowell:]
It's Christmas in Vidor, eighty-eight degrees
The taco stands padlocked, Spanish moss hangin' from the trees
Flip-flops stickin' to an asphalt road
The whole damn town is decorated to implode
My lawnmower dies with a cough and a moan
Ain't nothin' around here you'd wanna stick a bow on

[Mary Karr:]
How'd I wind up down here, you might ask?
For that story brother you're gonna have to pony up cash
I planned to leave with a man dressed up like the president
But we got him a union card, and we never went
Pipe fittin' wasn't no fun
So he got him a bass boat and he got him a gun
He got me a duplex, he got me some kids
We was gonna go to Astroworld but we never did

[Both:]
It's Christmas in Vidor
Ain't it a bitch?
It's Christmas in Vidor
Give me the [?] itch
It's Christmas in Vidor
Nowhere to go
It's Christmas in Vidor
That's ash, that ain't snow

[Rodney Crowell:]
I won't build no snowman, won't drink no nog
Just wander around in a bayou fog
[Mary Karr:]
Take out the turkey, lay down the grub
Fix my face, do the dishes, throw the kids in the tub
[Rodney Crowell:]
Spend the late night standin' inside the fridge door
Bathe in the green light and hungry for more
[Mary Karr:]
Backdoor's wide open, here's what I know
The end of that driveway is as far as I'll go

It's Christmas in Vidor
Eighty-eight degrees
It's Christmas in Vidor
Oh Jesus please
It's Christmas in Vidor
Leave me alone
It's Christmas in Vidor
Just bein' here is gone

[Both:]
It's Christmas in Vidor
Can't pay the bills
It's Christmas in Vidor
Just pop a few pills
It's Christmas in Vidor
My baby girl's due
It's Christmas in Vidor
Hope it don't look like you

[Mary Karr:]
I'll wear the school colors, I'll go to the game
I'll take the prom pictures, don't they all look the same
[Rodney Crowell:]
Come Christmas in Vidor, this time next year
I'll be hopped up and propped up on Prozac and beer
