Christmas in the Country

[Verse 1]

24 Xs on the calendar

The kids say, "Hooray! The big day's finally here!"

It's Christmas Eve

They set out Santa's cookies, just like rehearsed

Look so excited that they just might burst

It's Christmas Eve

And the kids won't go to sleep

[Chorus]

Whoa

It's Christmastime in the country

Whoa

It's Christmastime

[Verse 2]

Before dawn, there's a chill in the air

Head to the tree to see the kids already there

It's Christmas day

There's cocoa and pancakes for the family

Loved ones gather all 'round the tree

This Christmas day

Everybody's got so much to say

[Chorus]

Whoa

It's Christmastime in the country

Whoa

It's Christmastime

It's Christmastime

[Verse 3]

Slow yodeling

Had no clue what to do for Uncle Bob or Cousin Jean

It's sure good Santa Claus takes care of everything

This Christmastime

Opening presents, the kids are sure glad

But those kids are the best gift we ever could have

This Christmastime

We're gonna count our blessings tonight

[Chorus]

Whoa

It's Christmastime in the country

Whoa

It's Christmastime

Whoa

It's Christmastime in the country

Whoa

It's Christmastime in the country

It's Christmastime

[Bridge]

Thinks I'm gonna chop some wood

Gonna build me a fire

Gonna shovel some snow

On second thought, maybe I'll get my husband to do it though

I just wanna sit around and watch my kiddie grow

[Outro]

Don't you know?

It's Christmastime
