They said there’ll be snow at Christmas
They said there’ll be peace on earth
Hallelujah Noel be it heaven or hell
The Christmas we get we deserve
So this is Christmas
And what have you done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
And so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young
Father Christmas, give us some money
We got no time for your silly toys
We’ll beat you up if you don’t hand it over
Give all the toys to the little rich boys
Snow dancing off the pine,
It’s Christmas time in Arkansas, again
Sister find the preacher man
Daddy call the law
Things have gotten out of hand
Here in Arkansas
Mama ‘n’ Daddy put together quite a little posse, countin’ me and Jack and cousin Will,
We all hopped into the old Chevy pickup and we caught ‘em at the top of the hill,
Daddy took his Remington and shot away the lock, for to set his little darlin’ free,
But Potato said, “Daddy, shut the gol-dern door, Sheriff wants to marry me!”
(have y’all got an idea that we here in Arkansas might be different?)
Arkansas, land of opportunity,
Prettiest place you’ve ever seen,
Down home in Arkansas…
And the Colorado rocky mountain high,
I’ve seen it raining fire in the sky.
The shadows from the starlight are softer than a lullaby–
Rocky mountain high, Colorado…
Rocky mountain high.
My brother’s lives were different for they heard another call
One went to Chicago and the other to St Paul
And I’m in Colorado when I’m not in some hotel
Living out this life I’ve chose and come to know so well
Hey Charlie I almost went crazy after Mario got busted
I went back to Omaha to live with my folks
But everyone I used to know was either dead or in prison
So I came back to Minneapolis this time I think I’m gonna stay
I hear the train a coming it’s rolling round the bend
And I ain’t seen the sunshine since I don’t know when
I’m stuck at Folsom Prison and time keeps dragging on
But that train keeps rolling on down to San Antone
Going through the big ‘D’ and I don’t mean Dallas…
You know that I’m evil, just want to have some fun
There’s so much shit in Texas, I’m bound to step in some
Goin’ back to Dallas, take my razor and my gun
If there are people lookin’ for trouble, sure gonna give 'em some
Robbin’ people with a six-gun
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won
I fight authority, authority always wins
I fight authority, authority always wins
I been doing it, since I was a young kid
I’ve come out grinnin’
I fight authority, authority always wins
I’ll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I’ll get on my knees and pray
We don’t get fooled again
You say you want a revolution
Well, you know
We want to change the world
Everybody’s trying to say I’m wrong
I just wanna be back where I belong
World turning
I gotta get my feet back on the ground
World turning
Everybody’s got me down
Powers keep on lyin’
While your people keep on dyin’
World keep on turnin’
'Cause it won’t be too long
