'Twas the night before Christmas when all through the house
Not a cocktail was stirring, not a drink to be found
So, I put on my boots and I headed out
To meet all my friends at the honky tonk downtown
And out front was Rudolph and all of his friends
And you'd never believe what happened next
I saw Santa in a bar
Sippin' on a cold beer, strumming on an air guitar
He knew every word to Chattahoochee
He didn't miss a scoot of the Boot Scootin' Boogie
Drivin' 'em wild in his Wrangler jeans
Hell, even his sleigh was painted John Deere green
He said he's always been a country boy at heart
I saw Santa in a bar
So, I bought him a round and said Santa I gotta know
Is this the year I'm finally gonna get a boat
Well he laughed at me and said "son, I don't know"
I saw what you were doin' underneath that mistletoe
I saw Santa in a bar
Sippin' on a cold beer, strumming on an air guitar
He knew every word to Chattahoochee
He didn't miss a scoot of the Boot Scootin' Boogie
Drivin' 'em wild in his Wrangler jeans
Hell, even his sleigh was painted John Deere green
He said he's always been a country boy at heart
I saw Santa in a bar
♪
'Bout the time we were gettin' rowdy
He said ho, ho, ho, howdy
It's about time for me to hit the road
So, that's when I called shotgun and he knew just why
'Cause I just can't get away from a sleigh ride
I saw Santa in a bar
Sippin' on a cold beer, strumming on an air guitar
He knew every word to Chattahoochee
He didn't miss a scoot of the Boot Scootin' Boogie
Drivin' 'em wild in his Wrangler jeans
Hell, even his sleigh was painted John Deere green
He said he's always been a country boy at heart
I saw Santa in a bar
Said he's always been a country boy at heart
