This year has chewed me up and spit me out It's kicked my teeth and knocked me down These bruises won't be healed for a while But when December rolls around I pick myself up off the ground And, somehow, I still crack a smile All year long, I sung the blues I took my licks and paid my dues Hey, Santa, you owe me somethin' nice And even though we won't see snow We'll still hang up the mistletoe And know that everything will be alright I should feel colder than I do right now But there's a star hung on the highest bough When I hear songs about that one-horse open sleigh Like Christmas in Texas, I feel like a warm, sunny day I've been all across this land From Dallas to the Rio Grande And I've done everything there is to do Hit every bar that Austin had That Houston skyline isn't bad But nothing beats a Christmas Eve with you Sometimes I want to sleep 'til May I can't get up and face the day But let those Christmas carols play And everything just melts away I should feel colder than I do right now But there's a star hung on the highest bough When I hear songs about that yuletide oh so gay Like Christmas in Texas, I feel like a warm, sunny day I should feel colder than I do right now But there's a star hung on the highest bough When I hear songs about that manger filled with hay Like Christmas in Texas, I feel like a warm, sunny day I should feel colder than I do right now I should feel colder than I do right now I should feel colder than I do right now
