Lyrics

[Verse 1] 'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house Not a cocktail was stirring, not a drink to be found So I put on my boots and I headed out To meet all my friends at the honky tonk downtown And out front was Rudolph and all of his friends And you'd never believe just what happened next [Chorus] I saw Santa in a bar Sippin' on a cold beer, strummin' on an air guitar He knew every word to "Chattahoochee" He didn't miss a scoot of the "Boot Scootin' Boogie" Drivin' 'em wild in his Wrangler jeans Hell, even his sleigh was painted John Deere green He said he's always been a country boy at heart I saw Santa in a bar [Verse 2] So I bought him a round and said, "Santa, I gotta know Is this the year I'm finally gonna get a boat?" Well, he laughed at me and said, "Son, I don't know I saw what you were doin' underneath that mistletoe" [Chorus] I saw Santa in a bar Sippin' on a cold beer, strummin' on an air guitar He knew every word to "Chattahoochee" He didn't miss a scoot of the "Boot Scootin' Boogie" Drivin' 'em wild in his Wrangler jeans Hell, even his sleigh was painted John Deere green He said he's always been a country boy at heart I saw Santa in a bar [Bridge] 'Bout the time we were gettin' rowdy He said, "Ho, ho, howdy It's about time for me to hit the road" So that's when I called shotgun and he knew just why 'Cause I just can't get away from a sleigh ride [Chorus] I saw Santa in a bar Sippin' on a cold beer, strummin' on an air guitar He knew every word to "Chattahoochee" He didn't miss a scoot of the "Boot Scootin' Boogie" Drivin' 'em wild in his Wrangler jeans Hell, even his sleigh was painted John Deere green He said he's always been a country boy at heart I saw Santa in a bar Said he's always been a country boy at heart I saw Santa in a bar
