you're 22 years old & a woman now you're told

Aunt Beth & Charlie cut a check for the graduating niece

G F C

beer for breakfast who's gonna scold
F C
you've got your early hours dulled by the cigarettes you rolled

second shift as a fry cook that's your holiday in grease
F C
& you trudge to work through the snow in a coat down to your knees

& you linger at the twinkle lights as you pass by the mall
G F C
& count the days to a cold white Christmas in St Paul
G F C

C Am
feather down the nights get so cold
F C
& you ignore the smell of mold as you smooth out the folds
Am
when you're on your own you've got no one to please

G F C
on a cold white Christmas in St Paul
G F C
yeah it's a cold white Christmas in St Paul
Hope you enjoy!
