The Gourds

Best of Me

A new present that's in

Wrapping paper that's in

Another bag within

A box headed for me

With love all over the floor

And up against the door

How could a man be poor

With you to keep him warm

Honey did you think

That you'd got the best of me

I think I'll sit here

'Til that angel falls from the tree

The tree leans to the right

Still usin' candles for lights

Dressed up in baubles and rings

And other fine things

But in a day or two

Out on the curb with you

We'll both be wearin' a frown

It happens all over town

Pines and needles refer

To resolutions that were

Made way back in the year

You'll tide me over for sure
