Traincar Christmas

Well the tracks go on forever Least that's the way it seems And that old steam whistle Sounds louder in my dreams As I'm trying to lay sideways And get some extra sleep For the evenin that awaits Is like none you've ever seen We've hung the lights with care Stole a tree, and stole a pair Of doves Now Johnny he's grandmaster Of this whole grand affair He's been here since college When he found his first gray hair He says I guess that it's been fifty three Years living on this line And I've seen this whole country Without spending a dime He only misses his grandfather Left a lover at the altar And took off It's a Traincar Christmas It's snowing on the pines This coal powered Santa Sleigh Is keeping perfect time to sing Silver Bells, and Silent Night Say, Merry Christmas Happy New Year Pass the wine Please don't get me started On the priest all dressed in black He ran away four years ago With just the clothes on his back And Jack and Jo and Philly Stay livin' in their heads But they brought the mashed potatoes So they really ain't that bad Annemarie lifted some chicken From a boy she calls meal ticket Around New York It's a Traincar Christmas It's snowing on the pines This coal powered Santa Sleigh Is keeping perfect time to sing Silver Bells, and Silent Night Say, Merry Christmas Happy New Year Pass the wine You can call me Marvin A Martian come to Earth 'cause I never really fit in I was sideways at my birth I was once a failed magician Headliner in Ft Worth When along came AOL And showed how my tricks work But tonight here I'm a star In our faded old boxcar With no phones It's a Traincar Christmas It's snowing on the pines This coal powered Santa Sleigh Is keeping perfect time to sing Silver Bells, and Silent Night Say, Merry Christmas Happy New Year Pass the wine
