Backstory:
I grew up on a farm in Kentucky and am from a very big family. I built a farmhouse on one of our farms and it is a wonderful getaway for my family. I wrote this song inspired by both my family and the farm. At the end of each verse there is a bit of humor which keeps this song bright and moving along.
Lyrics:
COUNTRY CHRISTMAS
INTRO
I just can’t believe the year is almost through
Time for another Country Christmas with you
VERSE ONE
Let’s hang a wreath on the barn door
String holly across the gate
Put lanterns along the gravel road
To help and light the way
For our folks who will join us
This year on Christmas Eve
Wonder who’ll be the first to arrive
And the very last to leave?
CHORUS
It’s another country Christmas
Who could ask for more?
Never wanna miss this
Don’t even mind the chores
Well the mistletoe hangs from the hickory beam
Above these old pine floors
I’ll kiss you and I’ll tell you
Each year I love you more
VERSE TWO
I’ll cut that cedar by the back field
You find the ornaments and lights
We’ll wrap the gifts in brown craft paper
Tied up with baling twine
Where’s the scissors and the tape?
Have we lost them both again?
What’ll we do with the fruitcake
Aunt Sandy always sends?
CHORUS
VERSE THREE
I’ll build a fire in the fireplace
On Christmas Eve we’ll gather round
There’ll be singing, glasses clinking
Mulled wine for our whole crowd
We’ll be elbow to elbow
Once we sit down to have
A homemade Christmas supper
And cranberries from a can
CHORUS
OUTRO
I don’t wanna miss this
I don’t wanna miss this
I’d never wanna miss another country Christmas
