Dialogue #7

[Verse]
You know Carl Perkins and I lived right across the Mississippi River from each other
I bet you could have heard my Daddy shooting that dynamite on Christmas morning if you'd been listening Carl
John I probably did cause we didn't have a lot of nothing
I remember we drug one ole firecracker around and wore it out we were afraid to light it
Things in Lake County wasn't too bright but kind of like Marshall said we kind of filled up on love around that time of the year
That's when the crops was all out and eh I remember my folks my mom and dad kind of pinched the pennies
And that's when we got our new overall britches
I kind of strutted around pretty good on Christmas Day with those on
But Christmas to me is a sad and a warm time of the year
We did a lot of singing that's about all we had
And that wasn't too good
But there's a lot of sweet memories over in Lake County for me
