All I Want For Christmas

By Paul McCann

It's just one day now to Christmas and the heartaches have begun.
Spending Christmas in prison's not my idea of having fun.
I've been busy making toys for kids but no one cares for me ,
so I've wrote a note to Santa to help this jailbird break free .
I'm still thinking of the old folks and the little ones as well
as I sit behind these cold steel bars inside a prison cell .
It's as hot as hell each Christmas and tears well up in the eyes
when Santa and his reindeers don't leave any Christmas surprise .
If I could be a bird I would fly far away from this place,
but from this perch I cannot fly, I just stare out into space .
Santa all I want for Christmas is the wardens master key,
to unlock those prison gates and spend time with my family.
