theres cryin in the kitchen
theres runnin in the hall
daddys winchester wouldnt hangin on the wall
and it didnt seem like christmas very much at all
mama sent me to choppin wood before the snow
she said daddys gone to richmond and that all you need to know
i said i wanna know why carlas got that blood on her clothes
Chorus
carla came home middle of the night
sunglasses on and tears in her eyes
carla came home tonight just for christmas time
well carla met tom walker
daddy said he aint no count
hed grab his gun and go huntin
and shed bring him to the house
now something tells me tom walker is out of the picture now
repeat chorus
they quit searchin for my brother in law
gave him a week and then they called in the dogs
well there wont nobody miss him except maybe his ma
repeat chorus
