The lump in my throat is swallowing pride
Day after day all my prayers are denied
I'm clenching my beads and hoping good deeds
Have been the only things santa God spied
I can hear the other people stirring
The cat in my lap also stopped purring
I twiddle my fingers, time just lingers
Vents down the hall in the bathroom whirring
All this waiting has my mind about broke
I wonder if I have enough time for a smoke
Minutes off my life, I'll go ask my wife
But as I pass my daughters room, she spoke.
The lump in my throat is swallowing pride
Listening in, I may need a new guide
Day after day all my prayers are denied
I'm clenching my beads and hoping good deeds
Have been the only things santa God spied

I twiddle my fingers, time just lingers

All this waiting has my mind about broke
I wonder if I have enough time for a smoke
Minutes off my life, I'll go ask my wife
But as I pass my daughters room, she spoke.
The lump in my throat is swallowing pride
Listening in, I may need a new guide
