Reindeer

(album: Merry Christmas From Jon Pardi - 2023)

She was my tiny Dancer, now she's Prancing away
Not even Cupid coulda made that Vixen stay
I'm drinking a cup of cocoa with a Dasher of whiskey
Tryna forget how hard that goodbye Comet hit me but
From dusk to dawn her name is still on my mind
I'm wishing Rudolph woulda stopped her like a red light
'Cause a Blitzen blizzard's rolling in tonight
Might be a white Christmas

But all this snow just feels like rain, dear
This frozen heart is full of pain, dear
It washed away all of my Christmas cheer
Yeah, you should be here
'Cause tonight I'm just drinking alone
And all this snow just feels like rain, dear

December's colder than it's ever been
Them tin roof string lights never been so dim
And that tree in the corner ain't standing so tall
Naw, it don't feel like Christmas at all

And all this snow just feels like rain, dear
This frozen heart is full of pain, dear
It washed away all of my Christmas cheer
Yeah, you should be here
'Cause tonight I'm just drinking alone
And all this snow just feels like rain, rain, dear
Yeah, it's coming down

I'm tryna weather the weather
Now that we ain't together
I wonder if you even know

That all this snow just feels like rain, dear
This frozen heart is full of pain, dear
It washed away all of my Christmas cheer
You should be right here
'Cause tonight I'm just drinking alone
And all this snow just feels like rain, rain, dear
And it's coming down
Right down on me
