carla came home

there's cryin' in the kitchen

there's runnin' in the hall

daddy's winchester wouldn't hangin' on the wall

and it didn't seem like christmas very much at all

mama sent me to choppin' wood before the snow

she said daddy's gone to richmond and that all you need to know

i said i wanna know why carla's got that blood on her clothes

carla came home middle of the night

sunglasses on and tears in her eyes

carla came home tonight just for christmas time

well

carla met tom walker

daddy said he ain't no count

he'd grab his gun and go huntin'

and shed bring him to the house

now something tells me tom walker is out of the picture now

they quit searchin' for my brother in law

gave him a week and then they called in the dogs

well there wont nobody miss him except maybe his ma
