Merle Haggard
If We Can Make It Through December
[Chorus]
If we make it through December
Everything's gonna be all right I know
It's the coldest time of winter
And I shiver when I see the fallin' snow
If we make it through December
I got plans to be in a warmer town come summer time
Maybe even California
If we make it through December we'll be fine
[Verse]
I got laid off down at the factory
And their timin's not the greatest in the world
Heaven knows I been workin' hard
I wanted Christmas to be right for daddy's girl
Now I don't mean to hate December
It's meant to be the happy time of year
And my little girl don't understand
Why daddy can't afford no Christmas here
[Chorus]
If we make it through December
Everything's gonna be all right I know
It's the coldest time of winter
And I shiver when I see the fallin' snow
If we make it through December
I got plans to be in a warmer town come summer time
Maybe even California
If we make it through December we'll be fine
