I'VE SEEN THE OLD MAN SITTING' 'ROUND
THE COURTHOUSE SQUARE BACK HOME IN TOWN
TALKIN' ABOUT THE BIG WAR BACK IN 1943
SAYING' HOW MUCH GOOD IT'S DONE
MEDALS GLEAMING' IN THE SUN
CUSSING' AT MY LONG HAIR
AND MY TALK OF BEING' FREE

THEIR VISION LIKE THEIR BATTLE SCARS
OF OTHER WARS HAS FADED
LIKE THE COLORS ON THE RIBBONS
FROM THE BATTLES THAT THEY'VE WON
IF THERE'S ONE THING I'VE LEARNED IT'S THIS
YOU JUST CAN'T SHAKE HAND WITH A FIST
AND I ONCE DID MY TALKIN' WITH A GUN

AND, OLD MAN, I KNOW WHAT YOU'V

(Chorus)
Christmas just ain't christmas
Without the one you love
New Years just ain't new years
With the one you love

[Taj]
Underneath the missletoe
I saw his face all aglow
Last year this time
Now I stand all alone
And my house is not a home
Without that man of mine

(Chorus)

(Taj)
Twelve O' clock and all is well
And I was doing O' so swell
Last year this time
Going shopping for presents together
Making vows to leave each other-never
It was a waiste of time

(Chorus)

[Taj]
Oh, and now I stand all alone
And my house is not home
Without that man of mine, OOOOH

(Chorus)
