Verse 1:
I was downtown Nashville after a Titans game
The first time I saw it headed my way
A van with a Rudolph nose on the grill
And a man dressed in red sitting behind the wheel
Something made me flag that green taxi down
Take that magic ride clear across town
Before I knew it, I was singing along
To Jimmy Buffet Christmas songs

Chorus:
In the Christmas Cab
I had such a blast
And I’ll never forget how
That jolly man made me laugh
His tinted windows
Kept the real world out
And I couldn’t wait til I got back
In the Christmas cab

Verse 2:
I knew he wasn’t Santa
He told me his name was TJ
But he played Jingle Bells for me
On his trusty ukulele
Oh it didn’t matter the time of year
He always had that extra cheer
To make my stress melt away
Every time felt like a holiday

Chorus:
In the Christmas Cab
I had such a blast
And I’ll never forget how
That jolly man made me laugh
His tinted windows
Kept the real world out
And I couldn’t wait til I got back
In the Christmas cab

Bridge:
I got the news one summer day
My friend TJ had passed away
And Christmas would never be the same

Chorus:
Cause in the Christmas Cab
I had such a blast
And I’ll never forget how
That jolly man made me laugh
His tinted windows
Kept the real world out
And I couldn’t wait til I got back
In the Christmas cab

Tag:
And it’s hard to believe I’ll never be back
In the Christmas Cab
