Steve Earle - Christmas In Washington Lyrics
Its christmastime in washingtonThe democrats rehearsedGettin into gear for four more yearsThings not gettin worseThe republicans drink whiskey neatAnd thanked their lucky starsThey said, he cannot seek another termTheyll be no more fdrsI sat home in tennesseeStaring at the screenWith an uneasy feeling in my chestAnd Im wonderin what it meansChorus:So come back woody guthrieCome back to us nowTear your eyes from paradiseAnd rise again somehowIf you run into jesusMaybe he can help you outCome back woody guthrie to us nowI followed in your footsteps onceBack in my travelin daysSomewhere I failed to find your trailNow Im stumblin through the hazeBut theres killers on the highway nowAnd a man cant get aroundSo I sold my soul for wheels that rollNow Im stuck here in this townChorusTheres foxes in the hen houseCows out in the cornThe unions have been bustedTheir proud red banners tornTo listen to the radioYoud think that all was wellBut you and me and cisco knowIts going straight to hellSo come back, emma goldmanRise up, old joe hillThe barracades are goin upThey cannot break our willCome back to us, malcolm xAnd martin luther kingWere marching into selmaAs the bells of freedom ringChorus
