* White Christmas (In Texas Dreams)

Verse 1 Cedar smoke is rising through the evening, The porch light glows, and it’s 84. No snowflakes on the windshield gleaming, Just dust that drifts like tales of yore. Chorus I’m dreaming of a white Christmas, Where every tumbleweed turns light, May your briskets smoke and your boots stay tight, And may all your Christmases be bright. Verse 2 Barbecue replaces chestnuts roasting, Stockings hung near the oscillating fan. Down here we toast with cold Lone Star, boasting, “Y’all stay merry if you can.” Chorus I’m dreaming of a white Christmas, Though Texas skies are clear tonight, May your heart stay warm and your brisket right, And may all your Christmases be bright. Verse 3 Coyote choir’s howlin’ near the basin, Neon stars blink red and green. Santa’s traded sleigh for a Ram with chrome casing, Haulin’ joy down I-14. Final Chorus I’m dreaming of a white Christmas, Where every longhorn’s shining bright, May your porch lights glow through the silent night, And may all your Christmases be bright.
