Woke up, the sun streaming in my room Warm beach from palm December afternoon You close your eyes Another year blows by Somewhere in the wind Just another life My parents sent a Christmas card and then its true We understand youre staying And were proud of you Theres a well-rehearsed disinterest in the atmosphere I dont know if thats what this time gave me Or if it lead me here And I played so many parts I dont know which ones really me Dont know if I can take Another Christmas in L. A. Another pitcher of Sangria In an empty beach caf9 Another Christmas in L. A. Hold me tighter Carmelita I dont know how long I can stay Left a girl behind in my old mans truck Sometimes I wonder where she ended up Maybe she got married, had a couple of kids Who do you think youre fooling man? Of course she did Im walking in that tennis bar Try and talk with Harry Bean I dont know if I can take Another Christmas in L. A. Another casting call on Thursday For a job that doesnt pay Another Christmas in L. A. Another burnout in a tank top It seems your basket is the case A fat protagonist in flip flops With an extensive resume From Echo Park to Catalina Dreaming of a white Christmas The one I used to know Tree tops glisten, children listen To sleigh bells in the snow Another Christmas in L.
