Karaoke Track: Christmas Card From A Hooker In Minneapolis by Tom Waits (Dream Catcher) - Karaoke Nerds

right above a dirty bookstore

otTuclid avenue

and I stopped taking dope
and I quit drinking whiskey
and my old man plays the trombone

and works down at the track.

even though its not his baby

he says that he'll raise him up

like he would his own son

he says that he'll raise him up

like he would his own son

he gave me a ring
that was worn by his mother

he takes me out dancin

every saturday nite.

every saturday nite.

hey Charley I think about you
everytime I pass af'lllin' station
on account of all the grease

you used to wear in your hair

everytime I pass a f'lllin' station

on account of all the grease

you used to wear in your hair

on account of all the grease

you used to wear in your hair

I still have that record

of little anthony 8t the imperials

but someone stole my record player

how do you like that

so I went back to omaha to

live with my folks

everyone I used to know
was either dead or in prison

so I came back in minneapolis

this time I think I'm gonna stay.

hey Charley I think I'm happy
for the first time since my accident
and I wish I had all the money

that we used to spend on dope

I'd buy me a used car lot
and I wouldn't sell any of em

I'd just drive a different car

every day dependin on how I feel.

and I need to borrow money

to pay this lawyer

and Charley, hey
I'll be eligible

for parole

come valentines day .....
