Grateful For Christmas

[G]Well we'd all head to Waco, for the birth of our Lord
[C]My folks and my brother in an 82 Ford
[D]We'd pull in the driveway filled up with cars
[C]Old aunts and old uncles, L[D]ord I see stars

And then we'd run to the kitchen, you know kids and their games
Play fetch with old Buster, call each other names
Aunt Betty'd be singing while supper was cookingss
We'd unwrap the gifts when no one was lookin||

[C]Let's all gather [G]round, G[C]randpa say the ble[G]ssing
[C]Aunt Jane, she fell [G]asleep, M[G]ary Kay burned the d[D]ressing
[C]But we got all our friends and [G]family here
[C]And I'm grateful for [D]Christmas this y[G]ear

Well this year we're in Houston, lets all get together
Man I almost snow can you believe this weather
Who's gonna be here, Uncle Frank can't make it
Since Grandpa died, I don't know if Nana can take it

Well this present's a sweater and the pie don't taste right
And Dad and the TV are starting to fight
I wish I had a drink or maybe a dozen
Lord what I'd give for one good lookin cousin

So lets all gather round, dad you say the blessing
Aunt Jane, she fell asleep, Mary Kay burned the dressing
But we got all our friends and family here
And I'm grateful for Christmas this year

Hey Mom how you doing, yeah I miss him too
Nah the Christmas light don't make your hair look blue
The cousins ain't coming Jon's overseas
And I guess my wife loves her folks more then me

But the ladies from the church said, they might stop by
I brought you this picture, ahh mama don't cry
Let's play cards and watch the news channel
I love you too, and thanks for the flannel

So lets all gather round, I gues I'll  say the blessing
Aunt Jane, she fell asleep, Mary Kay burned the dressing
But we got all our friends and family here
And I'm grateful for Christmas this year
