Capo- II
[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
[G]And then we'd run to the kitchen, you know kids and their games
[C]Play fetch with old Buster, call each other names
[D]Aunt Betty'd be singing while supper was cookings
[C]We'd unwrap the gifts w[D]hen no one was lookin
Chorus:

[C]Man I almost snow can you believe this weather
[D]Who's gonna be here, Uncle Frank can't make it
[C]Since Grandpa died, [D]I don't know if Nana can take it
[G]Well this present's a sweater and the pie don't taste right
[C]And Dad and the TV are starting to fight
[D]I wish I had a drink or maybe a dozen
[C]Lord what I'd give for [D]one good lookin cousin
