IF WE MAKE IT THROUGH DECEMBER
(duet with Roy Forbes)
written by Merle Haggard
If we make it through December
Everything's gonna be alright, I know
It's the coldest time of winter
And I shiver when I see that falling snow
If we make it through December
I've got plans to be in a warmer town come summertime
Maybe even California
If we make it through December we'll be fine
I got laid off down at the factory
And the timing's not the greatest in the world
Heaven knows we've been working hard
To make Christmas special for our little girl
I don't mean to hate December
It's meant to be a happy time of year
But our little girl can't understand
Why this family can't afford no Christmas cheer
If we make it through December
Everything's gonna be alright, I know
It's the coldest time of winter
And I shiver when I see that falling snow
If we make it through December
I've got plans to be in a warmer town come summertime
Maybe even California
If we make it through December we'll be fine
