If We Make It Through December

(album: A Man And His Music - 1974)

If we make it through December
Everything's gonna be all right, I know
It's the coldest time of Winter
And I shiver when I see the falling snow
If we make it through December
God plans to be in a warmer town come summertime
Maybe even California
If we make it through December, we'll be fine

God laid off down at the factory
And their timin's not the greatest in the world
Heaven knows that 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 cheer

If we make it through December
Everything's gonna be all right, I know
It's the coldest time of Winter
And I shiver when I see the falling snow
If we make it through December
God plans to be in a warmer town come summertime
Maybe even California
If we make it through December, we'll be fine
