Lyric 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
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
