Well there's crying in the Kitchen|There's running in the hall|Daddy's Winchester wasn't hanging on the wall|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's all you need to know|I said I wanna know why Carla's got that blood on her clothes||CHORUS|Carla came home|The middle of the night|Sunglasses on and tears in her eyes|Carla came home and not just for Christmas time||When Carla met Tom Walker|Daddy said he ain't no count|He'd grab his gun and go huntin' when she'd bring him to the house|Yeah something told me Tom Walker is out of the picture now||REPEAT CHORUS||Well they kept searching for my brother-in-law|Gave him a week then they called in the dogs|Ain't nobody miss him, except maybe his mom||REPEAT CHORUS x2
