Chestnuts roasting on an open fire. Jack Frost nipping at your nose. Yule-tide carols being sung by a choir. And folks dressed up like Eskimos.. . Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe.
At a red hot truck stop with a dirt floor parking lot. A waitress named Shirley. Poured him some coffee and she said. "Hello stranger where're you going?.

Give me my cycle and a star-filled sky above. And a good lookin' woman with a heart full of love. I'll go to any honky tonk in any old town. 'Cause I am the wild one and I'll never settle down.
I am a lonesome pilgrim, far from home. And what a journey I have known. I might be tired and weary, but I am strong. 'Cause pilgrims walk, but not alone.
Newspaper boy makin' his rounds. Spreadin' the word all over town. Drivin' his car just as fast as it will go. . There's papers in the driveway, papers in the yard.
Here comes the Gospel story of Noah's Ark. . When God looked down on this whole world. His heart was heavy and sad. The world He'd made and the man He'd loved.
We're talking Tupelo was about a fast train. Headed toward the world like a mad hurricane. When he finally hit the ground, he tore us all apart. He was born to be a light in the dark.

Time is a monster that lives in our clocks. It's heartless and shows no remorse. Consuming our future as we fight. That hundred year war. . Time is a soldier steady and true.
There was a time when I thought of no other and we sang our own love's refrain. Our hearts beat as one as we had our fun but time changes everything. When you left me my poor heart was broken our romance seemed all in vain.
The sun goes down it leaves me sad and blue. The iron curtain falls on this cold war with you. Through you won't speak and I won't speak that's true. Two stubborn people with a cold war to go through.
