Got plans to be in a warmer town, why daddy can t afford no christmas here
We ll be fine, if we make it through december
Everything s gonna be all right i know, we ll be fine, maybe even california
If we make it through december, everything s gonna be all right i know, heaven knows i ve been working hard
And i shiver when i see the falling snow, if we make it through december
maybe even california
It s the coldest time of winter, if we make it through december, if we make it through december
everything s gonna be all right i know
and i shiver when i see the falling snow
and their timing s not the greatest
It s meant to be this happy time of year, and i shiver when i see the falling snow
in the world
everything s gonna be all right i know
It s the coldest time of winter, if we make it through december
and my little girl don t understand
In the world, come summer time
We ll be fine, it s the coldest time of winter It, if we make it through december
we ll be fine
Come summer time, we ll be fine Haggard, it s the coldest time of winter
If we make it through december, if we make it through december
if we make it through december
Come summer time, wanted christmas to be right
for daddy s girl
If we make it through december, heaven knows i ve been working hard If, we ll be fine
and i shiver when i see the falling snow
Heaven knows i ve been working hard, if we make it through december
and i shiver when i see the falling snow
And i shiver when i see the falling snow, if we make it through december
When i listen to this song i am reminded of when my wife and i first started out. We were young (19) with a newborn. I saved what i could and bought us a fixer up mobile home. All the furniture we had was a recliner and a mattress all on plywood floor (no carpet yet). I cut down a blue spruce on the property for a Christmas tree. I promised her if we made it through the winter I promise it will get better. It did, I made sure of it.
Im a single dad. Times get real tough this time of year for my daughter and I since her mom up and ran oft 3 years ago. Theres not much to go around after all the bills and rent but at least i have Merle to help explain to her that we arent alone in this world. God bless and merry christmas everyone.
December begins on Sunday as does Advent. Though I have lately had some disappointments, I put my hope in the love of Christ promised in Advent. There is no better way to prepare for Christmas!
I saw merl at station square......got an autograph and big hug and kiss.....One of his staff saw me waiting for him to leave his bus and got me a chair to be "comfortable"......... Merle came out of his bus,I handed him my leather vest to sign, (with many other country singers) and would you believe my pen wouldn't write....he took it into the bus, signed it and came back out, handed it to me with a hug and a KISS........
Yes, believe it or not, there was a time when Country Music was more than just Mimbos gyrating in tight jeans singing songs that took 5 minutes to write.
Relate to this song unfortunately, no job, no money, worrying and praying that January and the new year and a new decade is much much much much much much much better, thank you God
Story of my life. every year daddy would be "laid off" right before Christmas time, but somehow we managed to celebrate. There were 6 girls and 1 boy and times were rough for us, but somehow we made it through december.
My mom plays this country music all the time..at first id joke about it and how it doesnt match my modern music or death metal music. But now that i listen i notice how much it means to her, and it means so much to me now. And i am blessed that i learned how beautiful this is to me before she passes away. My mother has alot of years left, but i listen to this to show appreciation all the time. Im glad i learned the lesson before shes gone, thanks mom for showing me incredible music. (':
Edit: 5 months later and ive been moved out of the house for 2 months now. Luckily i took those lessons. All i do is listen to my moms music now that im all grown up. Amazing stuff what can happen. Shes not gone physically but boy is moving out and not hearing this music playing in the kitchen every day while my mom cooks a huge change. I miss you mom. Ill be looking forward to seeing you again in that tiny kitchen full of music and life again sometime.
