Merle Haggard
If We Make It Through December
[Chorus]
If we make it through December
Everything is gonna be alright, I know
It's the coldest time of Winter
And I shiver when I see the falling snow
If we make it through December
Got plans to be in a warmer town come summertime
Maybe even California
If we make it through December, we'll be fine

[Verse 1]
Got laid off down at the factory
And there time is not the greatest in the world
Heaven knows that I've been working hard
Wanted Christmas to be right for my little girl

[Verse 2]
I don't mean to hate December
It's meant to be a happy time of year
But my daughter, she don't understand
Why mama can't afford no Christmas gift

[Chorus]
If we make it through December
Everything is gonna be alright, I know
It's the coldest time of Winter
And I shiver when I see the falling snow
If we make it through December
Got plans to be in a warmer town come summertime
Maybe even California
If we make it through December, we'll be fine
