Christmas In Dearborn

A A On the train to your hometown D At stranger's side on Christmas Eve A Dozing in the window seat D Your laundry in your lap E D Your brother's pick-up truck is in the lot, engine running A D A Steady snow the dog's asleep D Your mom complains about the tree A Cousins come at dinnertime D With babies and partners E D You'll talk about your job or talk about your apartment A D A On the bed where you first slept D With your husband at seventeen A Read your yearbooks back to front D With TV on and your skirt off E D A And counted all of your teachers who were younger than you now
