Carla Came Home

(álbum: The Jealous Kind - 2003)

There's crying in the kitchen
There's running in the hall
Daddy's Winchester wouldn't hanging on the wall
And it didn't seem like Christmas very much at all

Mama sent me to chopping wood before the snow
She said daddy's gone to Richmond and that all you need to know
I said I wanna know why Carla's got that blood on her clothes

Carla came home middle of the night
Sunglasses on and tears in her eyes
Carla came home tonight just for Christmas time

Well, Carla met tom walker
Daddy said he ain't no count
He'd grab his gun and go hunting
And shed bring him to the house
Now something tells me tom walker is out of the picture now

They quit searching for my brother in law
Gave him a week and then they called in the dogs
Well there wont nobody miss him except maybe his ma
