The in-laws are waiting the games have The cell phone keeps ringing answer it hon The whole things just to aggravate Dad And its amateur day on the old super The kids are strapped down like a load of pipe All safe in car seats they fuss and they gripe Well you cant hardly blame em it be a bitchCounting the crosses off down in the ditch This ones got flowers, ones got a wreath This ones got a painted down underneath Was the road all iced up, were going too fast Heres five in a circle left from the holiday
Theres a three-trailer rig just a up spray Not legal to run on kind of a day But god damn the and the four wheelers too Stay offa my or the same goes for you Therell be for him He that it the most As he hauls it on out to the Oregon No turkey no no Zinfandel wine You just stay right and well get along fine Hes missing the football, the fun Hed with the grandkids but hes off on a run And some hats on the radio singing his But it make a damn Hes in for a long
Now granny yelling Shes to eat Shes havin Cause they wont take seats But shes got em all now under one roof her camcorder loaded Shes gonna get But do you have to wear Well I dont see why Please the potatoesAw eat shit and die Did you hear about Ellen, shes leaving, you How bout those Packers, think snow? And the minute its over theyll like quail Off down the freeway in the teeth of a Silent and And numb to the core They count themselves They got through one more

Departing Chicago at In clean camo all baggy and loose Sits an Guardsman alone by the gate The place sure looked different, in
When he traveled with mom, first time on a To visit some kin, hes forgotten names But he remembers the soldiers, still in their teensIn their spit polished boots and their army greens With the creases so sharp, and faces so smooth But their looked so heavy, he wondered how they could move Now hes got that same look, like his are black Hes in his mid forties and he has to go backAnd he even smoke while he waits for his plane The uniforms different, but the remains To do they tell you, dont make a fuss Whys not an issue, so dont think too You just do what you to, shut up and drive If you come later, well at least youre alive You can get you help, you can deal with it then And life will be better, til it again
Cause something inside us that wont let us beIn stalks through our days til its too dark to see And its damn near as deadly as on ice dont they beat all Yall have a holiday
