[Intro]
G    C    G    D  G
[Verse]
It was Christmas in prison and the Cfood was real good
We had Gturkey and pistols carved out of Dwood
And I Gdream of her always, even Cwhen I don't dream
Her Gname's on my tongue and her Dblood's in my Gstream
[Chorus]
DWait awhile CeterniGty
COld Mother GNature's got nothing on Dme
GRun to me, come to me
CRun to me now
We're Grolling my sweetheart
We're Dflowing by Ggod
[Verse]
She reminds me of a chess game with someCone I admire
Or a Gpicnic in the rain after a prairie Dfire
And her Gheart is as big as this Cwhole goddamn jail
And she's Gsweeter than saccharin at a Ddrug store Gsale
[Chorus]
DWait awhile CeterniGty
COld Mother GNature's got nothing on Dme
GRun to me, come to me
CRun to me now
We're Grolling my sweetheart
We're Dflowing by Ggod
[Instrumental]
G     C    G    D  G     C    G    D  G
[Verse]
Well, the Gsearchlight in the big yard rolls Cround with the gun
And the Gspotlights in the snowflakes, like dust in the Dsun
Well, it's GChristmas in prison, there'll be Cmusic tonight
And I'll Gprobably get homesick, I Dlove you, goodGnight
[Chorus]
DWait awhile CeterniGty
COld Mother GNature's got nothing on Dme
GRun to me, come to me
CRun to me now
We're Grolling my sweetheart
We're Dflowing by Ggod
GRun to me, come to me
CRun to me now
We're Grolling my sweetheart
We're Dflowing by Ggod
