If We Make It Through December - Lucinda Williams

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

Got plans to be in a warmer town come summertime

Maybe even California

If we make it through December, we’ll be fine

Got laid off down at the factory

And their timing’s not the greatest in the world

Heaven knows I been working hard

I wanted Christmas to be right for mama’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 mama 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

Got plans to be in a warmer town come summertime

Maybe even California

If we make it through December, we’ll be fine
