Carla Came Home

There's crying in the kitchen, there's running in the hall
 Daddy's Winchester wasn't hanging on the wall
 And it didn't seem like Christmas very much at all
 Mama set 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 want to know why Carla has got that blood on her clothes."
 Carla came home, middle of the night
 Sunglasses on and tears in her eyes
 Carla came home tonight just for Christmas time
 When Carla met Tom Walker Daddy said "He ain't no count."
 He'd grab his gun and go hunting when she'd bring him to the house
 Now something tells me Tom Walker is out of the picture now
 Carla came home, middle of the night
 Sunglasses on and tears in her eyes
 Carla came home tonight just for Christmas time
 They quit searching for my brother-in-law
 Gave him a week then they called in the dogs
 Well there won't nobody miss him except maybe his Ma
 Carla came home, middle of the night
 Sunglasses on and tears in her eyes
 Carla came home tonight just for Christmas time
 Carla came home, middle of the night
 Sunglasses on and tears in her eyes
 Carla came home tonight just for Christmas time
 Carla came home tonight just for Christmas time
