If We Make It Through December

(Merle Haggard)



If we make it through December

Everythings 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

Got plans to be in a warmer town come summertime

Maybe even California

If we make it through December we'll be fine.



Got laid off down at the factory

And there time is 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.



If we make it through December

Everythings gonna be alright I know

It's the coldest time of winter

And I shiver when I see the fallin' snow...



If we make it through December

Got plans to be in a warmer town come summer time

Maybe even California

If we make it through December we'll be fine...
