Carla Came Home Lyrics

Carla Came Home
By Chris Knight
CD ?? The Jealous Kind
There was crying in the kitchen, there was running in the hall
Daddy's Winchester wasn't hanging on the wall
And it didn't seem like Christmas very much at all
Mama set me to chopping wood before the snow
She said daddy's gone to Richmond and that's all you need to know
I said I want to know why Carla's got that blood on her clothes
Carla came home in the middle of the night
Sunglasses on and tears in her eyes
Carla came home, but not just for Christmas time
Carla met tom walker daddy said he ain't no count
He'd grab his gun and go hunting when she'd bring him to the house
Something tells me tom walker is out of the picture now
They quit searching for my brother in law
Gave him a week then they called in the dogs
They won't nobody miss him except maybe his maw
