Come On Christmas

(dwight yoakam)

Come on christmas
Please take me away
Keep me hidden safe
'til january's second day
Come on christmas
Come on noel

I'll wrap myself
Up in the cheer
That's so abundant
This time of year
Come on christmas
Come on noel

Even though it's just september
I can forget to remember
All the empty nights
Still in my way

Come on christmas
Embrace me with some joy
'til the last few lonely moments
Of this year have been destroyed
Come on christmas
Come on noel

I'll just let visions of the season
Blind these worn-out sights
Still in my mind
Come on christmas
Come on noel
Come on christmas

Away in a manger no crib for his bed
The little lord jesus lay down his wee head
The stars in the sky looked down where he lay
The little lord jesus asleep on the hay

The cattle are lowing the poor baby wakes
The little lord jesus, no crying he makes

Hey, listen to me rudolph, you know you're the mastermind
Run, run rudolph, randolph ain't so far behind

Chorus:
Run, run rudolph, santa's gotta make it to town
Yeah, you gotta make him hurry, tell him he can take the freeway down
Ah, run, run rudolph, reeling like a merry-go-round

Santa asked a boy child, "whaddya longin' for?"
He said, "all i want for christmas is a rock and roll electric guitar"
Then away went rudolph, whizzing like a shootin' star

Chorus:
Run, run rudolph, santa's gotta make it to town
Son, you gotta make him hurry, tell him he can take the freeway down
Ah, run, run rudolph, reeling like a merry-go-round

Well santa asked a girl child, "honey, what you wanna get?"
She said "a little baby doll that'll cry sweet, drink and wet"
Then away went rudolph, whizzing like a saber jet

Chorus:
Ah, run, run rudolph, santa's gotta make it to town
Son you gotta make him hurry, tell him he can take the freeway down
Go on, run, run rudolph, reeling like a merry-go-round

Well run, run rudolph, santa's gotta make it to town
Son you gotta make him hurry, tell him he can take the freeway down
Go on, run, run rudolph, reeling like a merry-go-round, round

Well run, run rudolph, santa's gotta make it this way
Gotta make him hurry, gotta make him take the freeway
Go on, run, run rudolph, santa's gotta make it to town

Well it's christmas time pretty baby
And the snow is on the ground
It's christmas time pretty baby
And the snow is on the ground
I said you better be good now baby
'cause santa claus is back in town

I don't got no sleigh with reindeer
Got no toys on the back
You gonna see me comin' in a trapped up cadillac
It's christmas time pretty baby
And the snow is on the ground
I said you better be good now baby
'cause santa claus is back in town

Christmas
Christmas
Christmas

Ho, ho, ho, honey

Oh hang up your pretty stockings
Girl turn out the light
Santa claus is coming down
Your chimney tonight

Yeah, it's christmas time pretty baby
And the snow is on the ground
I said you better be good now baby
'cause ol' st. nick is back in town

Oh, merry christmas, baby

Christmas
Christmas
Christmas

Happy, happy new year, too

Here comes santa claus
Here comes santa claus
Right down santa claus lane
Vixen and blitzen and all his reindeer
Pulling on the rein
Bells are ringing and children singing
All is merry and bright
So hang your stockings and say your prayers
'cause santa claus comes tonight
