Christmas Card From A Hooker In Minneapolis Songtext

even though its not his baby
And he says that he'll raise him up
like he would his own son
And he gave me a ring
that was worn by his mother
And he takes me out dancin
every Saturday night.

And hey Charlie I think about you
everytime I pass a fillin station
on account of all the grease
you used to wear in your hair
And I still have that record
of Little Anthony & The Imperials
but someone stole my record player
Now how do you like that?

Hey Charlie I almost went crazy
after Mario got busted
So I went back to Omaha to live with my folks
but everyone I used to know
was either dead or in prison
So I came back to Minneapolis
This time I think I'm gonna stay.

Hey Charlie 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

Hey Charlie for Christsakes
do you want to know the
truth of it?
I don't have a husband
He don't play the trombone
And I need to borrow money
to pay this lawyer
And Charlie, hey
I'll be eligible for parole
come Valentine's Day
