Santa Can`t Stay Lyrics

Santa Can`t Stay

(Dwight Yoakam)

 

 Cold tears fall from his eyes

 As he turns into the night and walks away

 Lucille runs outside

 Just to see if there might be a sleigh

 Little Bobby stares down

 At the plate where cookies still lay

 And tries to understand

 Why momma said Santa can't stay

 

 Chorus:

 Momma said Santa can't stay

 Said she told him that twice yesterday

 Then a car just like Dad's

 Pulled out and drove away

 After momma said Santa couldn't stay

 

 They both heard him coming

 Saw Mom run down the hall and holler wait

 Doug you're drunk don't come inside

 I'm not joking I've had all this I can take

 He threw a present really hard

 That almost hit Mom's new boyfriend Ray

 And yelled ho-ho lucky for you she's here

 And said that Santa can't stay

 

 Chorus:

 Momma said Santa can't stay

 Said she told him that twice yesterday

 Then a car just like Dad's

 Pulled out and drove away

 After momma said Santa couldn't stay
