Haggard Merle - If We Make It Through December Lyrics

If We Make It Through December
Merle Haggard

If We Make It Through December ev'rything's gonna be alright I know;
It's the coldest time of winter and I shiver when I see the falling snow;
If We Make It Through December,
Got plans to be a warmer town come summer time;
Maybe even California,
If We Make It Through December, we'll be fine;
Got laid off down at the fact'ry
And their timing's not the greatest in the world;
Heaven knows I been working hard, wanted Christmas to be right for daddy's girl;
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 ev'rything's gonna be alright I know;
It's the coldest time of winter and I shiver when I see the falling snow;
If We Make It Through December,
Got plans to be a warmer town come summer time;
Maybe even California,
If We Make It Through December, we'll be fine.
