I clocked out from work, put on some tunes
Hitched a ride to the local saloon
After a few rounds, I was full of Christmas cheer
Til I came home for the holidays and you weren't here
I came home for the holidays and you weren't here
Just a note, on my kegerator
To let me know you disappeared
Said you were, heading for the desert to live
Life without fear
I came home for the holidays and you were not here
I couldn't bear, the thought of being there
After what happened last year
You sat around all day long
Watching football, getting drunk on cheap beer
When your team got their asses kicked
You actually shed a tear
So I hopped in the truck after the bud bowl
And blazed on to a new frontier
It fired me up that cloudy day
Heading straight for anywhere
The Christmas lights melted the frostbite
For all I ever cared
All the ways you hurt me
I'll probably never share
I left home for the holidays
Cuz you weren't really there
A coyote Christmas is lonely in some ways
When the meaning of your gift
Lies in what you never gave
Always feel so pure in the cold desert air
Am I coming home for the holidays?
That's neither here nor there
I clocked out from work, put on some tunes
Hitched a ride to the local saloon
After a few rounds, I was full of Christmas cheer
Til I came home for the holidays and you weren't here
