Lyrics

[00:10.02] Tall in the saddle,
[00:12.19] we spend Christmas Day,
[00:14.83] driving the cattle over snow covered-plains.
[00:19.61] All of the good gifts given today,
[00:24.38] ours is the sky and the wide open range.
[00:33.88] Back in the cities they have different ways,
[00:38.57] football and eggnog and Christmas parades.
[00:43.29] I'll take a blanket, I'll take the reins,
[00:47.99] It's Christmas for cowboys wide-open plains.
[01:02.16] A campfire for warmth as we stop for the night,
[01:06.93] the stars overhead are Christmas tree lights.
[01:11.59] The wind sings a hymn as we bow down to pray,
[01:16.37] It's Christmas for cowboys, wide-open plains.
[01:30.72] It's tall in the saddle we spend Christmas Day,
[01:35.31] driving the cattle over snow-covered plains.
[01:40.01] So many gifts have been opened today,
[01:45.82] ours is the sky and the wide open range.
[01:49.82] It's Christmas for cowboys, wide open plains.
