[Intro]
[Verse]
It was Christmas in prison and the food was real good
We had turkey and pistols carved out of wood
And I dream of her always, even when I don t dream
Her name s on my tongue and her blood s in my stream
[Chorus]
Wait awhile eternity
Old Mother Nature s got nothing on me
Run to me, come to me
Run to me now
We re rolling my sweetheart
We re flowing by god
[Verse]
She reminds me of a chess game with someone I admire
Or a picnic in the rain after a prairie fire
And her heart is as big as this whole goddamn jail
And she s sweeter than saccharin at a drug store sale
[Chorus]
Wait awhile eternity
Old Mother Nature s got nothing on me
Run to me, come to me
Run to me now
We re rolling my sweetheart
We re flowing by god
[Instrumental]
[Verse]
Well, the searchlight in the big yard rolls round with the gun
And the spotlights in the snowflakes, like dust in the sun
Well, it s Christmas in prison, there ll be music tonight
And I ll probably get homesick, I love you, goodnight
[Chorus]
Wait awhile eternity
Old Mother Nature s got nothing on me
Run to me, come to me
Run to me now
We re rolling my sweetheart
We re flowing by god
Run to me, come to me
Run to me now
We re rolling my sweetheart
We re flowing by god
