Mary Gauthier's 2002  alt-country Christmas song set in a town called Paradise. The lyrics form a typical country music first-person narrative, realistic and gritty about the subject - in this case Christmas  (so not a chirpy pop song to overspend in the supermarket by). The alternative aspect is  that the narrator is giving a homeless person’s perspective of the season ; and that the gritty realism about the material poverty is actually the means by which the festive cheer and love shine through.

Davy stole a Christmas Tree
From K-Mart last night
Red ribbons and silver bells
Angels dressed in white
He tied it to the bridge rail
Where passing cars could see
Did a little dance up there
Looked down and smiled at me

My bed is a lawn chair
Cushions keep it soft
I sleep in the open air
Under the Southern Cross
Next to the golf course
By the Hyatt Hotel
Davy he's a friend of mine
And we get along pretty well

Christmas in paradise
Under the Cow Key Bridge
Where the warm breeze blows so nice
And the landlord forgives

Snowbirds on the golf course
Wear Bermuda shorts and polo shirts
Some play pretty good
Some play so bad it hurts
We pick up their golf balls
That fly over the fence
We shine them up a little bit
Sell them back for fifty cents

Christmas in paradise
Under the Cow Key Bridge
Where the warm breeze blows so nice
And the landlord forgives

I won't lie we just get by
But we'll be eating good tonight
Christmas dinner's at five o'clock
Over at the Church of Light
They don't care who you are
They don't ask what you done
Come on down and bring a friend
There's plenty for everyone

Christmas in paradise
Under the Cow Key Bridge
Where the warm breeze blows so nice
And the landlord forgives

The radio plays Christmas songs
While we get high
And Davy shouts "Merry Christmas, y'all"
To the cars passing by
Davy shouts "Merry Christmas, y'all"
To the cars passing by

Christmas in Paradise

Lyrics:
Don't let me walk away if I ever do 
Because your body is the only home I'm coming back to 
I left the trees, came to this place 
Now I'm staring my dreams right in the face
My dreams have brown eyes and long hair just like you 

today is the first day I give you my voice 
and I don't want tomorrow if I can't give it again 
yesterday has blessed me
The past is arranged 
And now I can never feel so strange so babe  
Should my heart beat how it is? 

I'm not liked in the eyes of everyman 
but you're way too weird to ever see like them
We say it so often but never often enough 
I love you and i know that you can trust I... 

Won't let you walk away if you ever do 
Because every single moment would go away too 
Like graduating highschool and getting on our knees 
thanking unknown gods for giving you to me 
And I'd hate to think that all of that could leave us so 

today is the first day I give you my voice 
and I don't want tomorrow if I can't give it again 
yesterday has blessed me
The past is arranged 
And now I can never feel so strange so babe  
Should my heart beat how it is? 

So babe 
Should my heart beat how it is?
Please babe 
Let my heart know what this is 
Yes babe 
We both know this feels like bliss
