Some Times (Vince Gill & Mary Gauthier)
I worked the Orange Blossom Special ‘48 till ‘54
Manhattan to Miami, I worked in the dining car
Till Eisenhower built the interstates, and jet liners sailed the skies
Luxury trains were shuttered and the railroads up and died
Some Times, Some Times, I have seen some times
Some Times, Some Times, I have seen some times
They shot JFK and Bobby, and Martin Luther King
These days guns are everywhere and they’re shooting everything
I saw my first black president, made me so proud I cried
I saw the insurrection, can’t say I was surprised
Some Times, Some Times, I have seen some times
Some Times, Some Times, I have seen some times
I am an old man now, my life is almost done
In my heart I do believe that we shall overcome
I pray for this world of sorrow for a better tomorrow
That we might get there without a loaded gun
My wife of sixty years, died seven years ago
When I dream about her, in my dreams we are not old
If you see a locomotive rolling down the line
Won’t you stop and think about us if you hear the whistle whine?
Some Times, Some Times, I have seen some times
Some Times, Some Times, I have seen some times

LYRICS
Davey stole a Christmas tree from K-Mart last night
Red ribbons and silver bells, angels dressed in white
He tied it to the bridge rail so passing cars would see
He danced a little dance up there, looked down and smiled at me
My bed is a lawn chair, cushions keep it soft
I sleep in the open air, under the Southern Cross
Next to the golf course by the Hyatt Hotel
Davey is a friend of mine and we get along pretty well
Christmas in paradise under the Cow Key Bridge
Where the warm breeze blows so nice
And the landlord forgives
Snowbirds on the golf course wear Bermuda shorts and polo shirts
Some play pretty good some so bad it hurts
We pick up their golf balls that fly over the fence
Shine em up a little bit and sell em back for fifty cents
Christmas in paradise under the Cow Key Bridge
Where the warm breeze blows so nice
And the landlord forgives
I wont lie, we just get by but well be eating good tonight
Christmas dinner at 5 oclock over at the Church of Life
They dont care who you are and they dont ask what you done
Come on down and bring a friend theres plenty for everyone
Christmas in paradise under the Cow Key Bridge
Where the warm breeze blows so nice
And the landlord forgives
The radio plays Christmas songs while we get high
Davey shouts Merry Christmas yall
To the cars passing by
Davey shouts Merry Christmas yall
To the cars passing by
