Christmas Card From a Hooker in Minneapolis

歌詞

Hey Charlie I'm pregnant and living on 9th Street Right above a dirty bookstore off Euclid Avenue And I stopped takin' dope and I quit drinkin' whiskey And my old man plays the trombone and works out at the track He says that he loves me even though it's not his baby He says that he'll raise him up like he would his own son And he gave me a ring that was worn by his mother And he takes me out dancin' every Saturday night Charlie I think about you when I pass the fillin' station On account of all the grease you used to wear in your hair And I still have that record of Little Anthony and the Imperials But someone stole my record player, how do you like that? Charlie I almost went crazy when Mario got busted Went back to Omaha to live with my folks And everyone I used to know was either dead or in prison Came back to Minneapolis, this time I think I'm gonna stay Charlie I think I'm happy, first time since my accident I wish I had all that money we used to spend on dope I'd buy me a used car lot and I wouldn't sell anything Drive me a different car every day dependin' on how I feel Hey Charlie for chrissakes if you want to know the truth of it I don't have me a husband and he don't play the trombone Gotta borrow money to pay this lawyer and Charlie hey I'll be eligible for parole come Valentine's Day
