lyrics

It’s Thanksgiving Eve
And I’m back at the bar again
Just me and my old friends
And some townies we know
I ain’t feeling thankful
There’s a belt on my ankle
But it’s Thanksgiving Eve
And I’m back at the bar

Then you walked in
With that blue ribbon grin
And I knew right then and there
That I was done for
Said it’s been quite a while
I flashed you a smile
I took comfort in that feeling
That I've known before

It’s Thanksgiving Eve
And I’m back at the bar again
Out past my curfew
Still on parole
I ain’t feeling thankful
Cause there’s a belt on my ankle
It’s Thanksgiving Eve
And I’m back at the bar

Stumble back to my apartment
To finish what i started
My answering machine
And my mailbox are overflowing
I’ll check them tomorrow
Cause I’m nursing my sorrow
With a handle of Wild Turkey
'Til this bird is crowing

It’s Thanksgiving Eve
Snuck out to the bar again
Out past my curfew
Still on parole
I ain’t feeling thankful
Cause there’s a belt on my ankle
It’s Thanksgiving Eve, I snuck out to the bar
