red steagall - tumbleweed christmas tree كلمات أغنية

[verse 1]
it was a rough year for a roughneck’s children
hard times and harder living
we moved when the rent come due and it come due once a week
that year in late december found us in an old house trailer
west of odessa near a town they call notrees

[verse 2]
too poor to pay attention, daddy lived on good intentions
he intended christmas to be just what we believed
drove to town in the company pickup when he didn’t have a sawbuck
for the price of a christmas tree, he brought back a tumbleweed

[chorus]
christmas eve in notrees, texas, wind blowing through the cactus
santa claus was a rich kid’s saint and a poor kid’s dream
i’d trade every fancy present i ever had or ever will get
for the night of the tumbleweed christmas tree

[verse 3]
daddy sat it on the dinette table, mama made a newsprint angel
ornaments of tinfoil scr_ps and b_ttons on a string
took us all night to decorate it, when we got done, i’ll have to say that
it was the prettiest tumbleweed that i’d ever seen

[verse 4]
wind rocked the trailer like a cradle while we sang our christmas carols
setting on the sofa on the duct tape naugahyde
daddy looked proud as a big city banker, mama tried hard to be thankful
looking at the tumbleweed, she laughed until she cried
[chorus]
christmas eve in notrees, texas, wind blowing through the cactus
santa claus was a rich kid’s saint and a poor kid’s dream
i’d trade every fancy present i ever had or ever will get
for the night of the tumbleweed christmas tree

[bridge]
i was just six, going on seven, but being poor is an education
that night i learned a lot about just what christmas means
it means love, and it means loving, it means money don’t mean nothing
and it means a tumbleweed can make a christmas tree

[outro]
i’d trade every fancy present i ever had or ever will get
for the night of the tumbleweed christmas tree

- red steagall
