2 HOURS UNTIL CHRISTMAS.

It was Christmas in prison
and the food was real good
we had turkey and pistols
carved out of wood.
The searchlight in the big yard
swings round with the gun
and spotlights the snowflakes
like dust in the sun.
It's Christmas in prison
there'll be music tonight
I'll probably get homesick
I love you
Goodnight.
(John Prine)
