"Store-Bought Christmas" lyrics

"Store-Bought Christmas"

Jack, come quick to the window and see
Santa Claus walking up the shoulder
Of Highway 19E, and he looks happy
Musta tied one on at the state line tavern
'Cause he's jolly and pretty well-hammered
Singing through the trailer park on Christmas Eve
Oh, Mama, will you see us through?
He ain't no Kris Kringle, but he'll do
He's our dad and we love him
And someday when the money rolls in

We'll have ourselves a
Store-bought Christmas
With all them toys
Store-bought Christmas
'Cause, Santa Claus, I been a real good boy
And I know dads make promises
Sometimes that they can't keep
But I don't wanna feel the tears
Come rolling down my cheek
Store-bought Christmas

Carter County done decked the halls
We got lights strung up at the strip mall
Lamp posts sparkle red and green
Mama, pull over, get us some Hardee's
Jack's counting the snowflakes falling
I'm counting the days until Santa Claus is coming
Hope he stops and the super Walmart
Parks the reindeer and fills my cart
Oh, Mama, will you see us through?
When Santa stands about 100 proof
But he's our dad and we love him dear
And someday when our check clears

We'll have ourselves a
Store-bought Christmas
With all them toys
Store-bought Christmas
'Cause, Santy Claus, I been a real good boy

Big wheels and arcade games
G.I. Joes and jet airplanes
Games and clothes and brand-name shows
Something bright, shiny and new
Daddy make our wish come true
Me, Jack, and Mama, we're depending on you

Now the thermometer reads 14 degrees
Look, Jack, what's under the tree?
He did it, Mama, that's our Pa
Must be a Christmas miracle

Store-bought Christmas
With all them toys
Store-bought Christmas
Santa Claus, I been a real good boy
Store-bought Christmas
