Thanks for all the comment and suggestions. I incorporated as many as I could. I hope I made it better (ha, ha). I not too excited about the "sanding" stanza, so I'll think on that some more. Kevin ************************************************* Red Fire Truck (12/04/10 version) (c) Emmrich 2010Back long ago, I remember a Christmas season my dad always saying that things happen for a reason one year I prayed and hoped, besides a GI Joe, I would get my heart's desire in that toy store window I said "God, I know you're near please tell Santa I was good this year, and can you ask him for me please... (chorus) bring me that red fire truck with the dalmatian and bells and ladders and a siren and you'll never hear me crying if you do this for me you'll have no regrets cause I'll never ask for anything else (verse) but Dad got laid off in November tough to pay bills in December mama cried, Dad said, don’t worry, it’s time for gifts went to joe's last chance junkyard scrounged for wheels and truck parts and we spent the week fixing, painting, making it look sleek (lift) While I sanded, my daddy hummed His favorite Christmas tune While in my mind the lyrics went (chorus again) (bridge/lift) and although I knew what was coming I still ran down to unwrap and I swear it was my best Christmas ever Now, 20 years later, my son’s request brought back that memory. I guess I could just buy it, but my son deserves a better gift from me You see, he asked me please: (chorus again and tag) Kevin: Vocals, Acoustic Guitar BIAB: drums, bass, acoustic guitar
