Christmas in Huntsville Lyrics

Warden brought a letter by the way
The stamp on the corner read Happy Holidays
On the back was a Merry Christmas seal
Can't find nothin' merry 'bout Christmas in Huntsville

Judge said God have mercy on your soul
But its hard to find a God when you're layin' in the hole
Lethal injection for a man I didn't kill
Ain't gonna be a Merry Christmas in Huntsville

At home they're wrappin' presents, drinkin' egg nog by the fire
Mama's in the kitchen, puttin' in the pies
But sittin' in this prison cell I feel the winter's chill
Down to my last hours doing Christmas in Huntsville

The parson came and sat with me a while
Said a little prayer, left me with a smile
The guards bring in my final meal
Turkey and dressing for this Christmas in Huntsville

They asked if I had anything to say
As I think of the letter they brought me yesterday
From the mother of the man I didn't kill
I hope you burn in hell on this Christmas in Hunstville

At home the kids are cryin', Daddy's prayin' by the fire
Mama's in the kitchen wipin' tears of out her eyes
But layin' on this gurney I don't feel the winter's chill
I got my wish this Christmas, no more Christmas in Huntsville

So long and Merry Christmas, my last Christmas in Huntsville
