[Verse] I might’ve stayed out too late, more than a time or two, Spent my paycheck on drinks, and broke a barstool too, Skipped a few Sunday sermons, took the long way to pray, Flirted with the danger, every single day. [Verse 2] I might’ve raced my old truck through the rain and the mud, Kicked up dust in my boots, and cussed when life got tough, Sent a few bales to market, maybe not mine to sell, Made some shady deals, but I keep it to myself. [Chorus] But I've been good all year, sorta, just for you, my dear, While I’ve been a rascal down here, my love’s been true and clear, Held your hand through the darkness, kissed you soft and near, Because I've been good all year, sorta, just for you, my dear. [Verse 3] Strung the Christmas lights crooked, and forgot to buy a tree, Let the cat knock down ornaments, with a mischief glee, Slept through our date night, blamed it on the moon, But in your arms each evening, I find my tune. [Verse 4] Lied about the cookies, said I baked 'em fresh, Sneaked a little whiskey, into Santa's stash, Did some things I reckon, might get me the boot, But I’ve held onto loving you, that’s the honest truth. [Chorus] But I've been good all year, sorta, just for you, my dear, While I’ve been a rascal down here, my love’s been true and clear, Held your hand through the darkness, kissed you soft and near, Because I've been good all year, sorta, just for you, my dear.
