[Intro] (Upbeat fiddle solo) (Heavy drum kick with spurs jingling) (Yeehaw!) ​[Verse 1] Snow don't fall in Laredo Texas, But the lights still shine and the girls look pretty. A wreath on the door, boots by the tree, Texas-sized joy for you and me. ​[Pre-Chorus] From the Rio Grande to the Hill Country skies, The Lone Star spirit never dies. ​[Chorus] It’s a Texas Hold Down Christmas, y’all, From Fort Worth streets to Houston halls. With a fiddle tune and a two-step sway, We’re decking the plains the cowboy way. Merry Christmas, Big Tex is callin’, Yeehaw echoes, snow or pollen! ​[Verse 2] Down in San Antonio, the river's aglow, Mariachi carols in the soft moon’s glow. Up in Fort Worth, there’s cattle and cheer, Raisin’ a toast with a Shiner beer. ​[Pre-Chorus] From the Gulf Coast waves to the Panhandle plains, The Christmas spirit rides the trains. ​[Verse 3] From the Dallas skyline to the Piney Woods, Doing Christmas like only Texans could. Dust off the Stetson, shine up the chrome, There ain't no place like a Lone Star home. ​[Bridge] (Stomp-Clap build up) It ain't about the sleigh, it's about the truck, It ain't about the snow, it's about the luck! From the piney woods to the desert sand, The biggest party in the whole dang land! ​[Guitar and Fiddle Solo] ​[Chorus] It’s a Texas Hold Down Christmas, y’all, From Fort Worth streets to Houston halls. With a fiddle tune and a two-step sway, We’re decking the plains the cowboy way. Merry Christmas, Big Tex is callin’, Yeehaw echoes, snow or pollen! ​[Outro] Keep the spurs jinglin’... Keep the campfire bright... Goodnight, Texas... And to all a Goodnight Irene night. (Big finish with fiddle flourish) ​[End] ​[©2025 By Matthew E Treviño]
