Lyrics Hayes Carll

Hayes Carll

Naked Checkers

You told your mama, you told your pa

Mama called the preacher

Daddy called the law

But it's alright, it's alright

We did not need them anyway

We just won't come home on Christmas

Or any other Holiday

You say behave yourself, I say I'll try

You say don't go out tonight

And I say why

But it's okay, it's okay

Everything's gonna be just fine

You can fall asleep in your bed, honey

And I'll toss and turn in mine.

You makin' money honey, gonna be a star

I lie around all day

And play guitar

But it's okay, it's okay

Everything's gonna be alright

I'll make breakfast every morning sugar

Sing you lullabies at night.

Well you like checkers, and I like chess

I like you naked

And you like to dress

But it's okay, it's okay

Everything's gonna be just fine

Naked checkers every Friday

I bet you beat me every time

You told your mama, you told your pa

Mama called the preacher

Daddy called the law

But it's alright, it's alright

We did not need them anyway

We just won't come home on Christmas

Or any other holiday
