"If We Make It Through December" Lyrics

(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...
