Lyrics

Chorus

Whiskey and a gun for Christmas

This year’s got me twisted

Poker cards and broken wishes

Whiskey and a gun for Christmas

Post-Chorus

Cold outside

Sip it slow

Verse 2

Smokestack rising on a Tuesday night

Juke joint jitter and the neon’s bite

Steel on the counter, shadows crawl

Sins and forgiveness wrapped in tinfoil

Pre-Chorus

Snow falls on rusted wheels

Buzz of jazz and gritted steel

Chorus

Whiskey and a gun for Christmas

Stories sour on my tongue

Warped old records, hollow business

Whiskey and a gun for Christmas

Post-Chorus

Cold outside

Sip it slow

Sip it slow

Bridge

Cracked boots pacing through the drifts

Heavy hands with nothing left to give

Cheap perfume wrapped around regret

Still chasing debts I can’t forget

Verse 3

Hot wire tremble in the furnace gloom

Laughing like the devil’s in the next room

December’s got a mean old grin

Loaded stockings, bottle-spun spin

Pre-Chorus

Frost paints my shadow blue

Old regrets and something new

Chorus

Whiskey and a gun for Christmas

Midnight scars on my tongue

Empty chair, empty witness

Whiskey and a gun for Christmas

Post-Chorus

Cold outside

Sip it slow

Sip it slow

Sip it slow
