Redneck Christmas Blues

Chorus

It must be a redneck Christmas, moonshine in my cup

If grandma hadn't got ran over, there might be cookies up

There's no peace at the table, no pie on my plate

No dashing through the snow, just bills I can’t negate

Post-Chorus

Yeehaw, oh no, come on, ho ho ho

Verse 2

No stocking hung with care, lights tangled in a knot

Muddy boots by the trailer, last year’s tree I forgot

If I see Santa’s sleigh, guess I’ll wave as he flies by

Till then it’s just workin' and tryin’ to get by

Pre-Chorus

Maybe next Christmas, I’ll hear those jingle bells

But tonight I just sigh, as the story tells

Chorus

It must be a redneck Christmas, moonshine in my cup

If grandma hadn't got ran over, there might be cookies up

There's no peace at the table, no pie on my plate

No dashing through the snow, just bills I can’t negate

Post-Chorus

Yeehaw, oh no, come on, ho ho ho

Bridge

No drummer boy rump-a-pum-pum, this Christmas don't feel right

No warm gingerbread kitchen, no carols late at night

Got my hopes in the mailbox, just waitin’ for a check

Dreamin’ of sugar plums I still ain’t tasted yet

Outro

Guess the sleigh’ll pass me by, I’ll watch it from the porch

With a thermos in my hand, and a busted ol’ torch

If next year is kinder, I’ll toast with apple pie

But tonight it’s just us, under this lonesome sky

Post-Chorus

Yeehaw, oh no, come on, ho ho ho

Yeehaw, oh no, come on, ho ho ho

Coda

Nothing to fill the corn cob pipe, chimney’s cold as stone

No orange in my stocking, not even a bag o’ bones

With my old winter coat, off to work I go

Just Nat King Cole on the radio, singing let it snow

Post-Chorus

Yeehaw, oh no, come on, ho ho ho

Yeehaw, oh no, come on, ho ho ho
