Merle Haggard
If We 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
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]
Got laid off down at the factory
And their timing is not the greatest in the world
Lord knows I've been working hard
Wanted Christmas to be right for daddy's girl
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 gift

[Chorus]
If we make it through December
Everything's gonna be all right, I know
It's the coldest time of winter
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
