It’s Christmas in the big city and I’ve got the country blues
The lights here sure are pretty, but it’s not like Christmases we once knew
I’m here with no money. I’m here without you
I’m stuck here in the big city with the country Christmas blues
I went downtown to the big store to look at the Christmas display
But looking is all that I came for. It’s been a month since I saw any pay
I saw this big old toboggan, like yours that we used to use
And now I’m stuck here in the big city with the country Christmas blues
Those country Christmases that we once had
Once made me happy, now just make me sad
I’d turn the clock back if it were mine to choose
I’m stuck here in the big city with the country Christmas blues
Christmas in the old farmhouse... We had nothing. We had it all
We’d go sliding or skating or skiing or just throwing snowballs
But here it’s grey and you’ve got to pay for anything you want to do
I’m stuck here in the big city with the country Christmas blues
Christmas has me looking back at the mess I made of this year
I said we had to move uptown for the sake of my career
Now you’ve had enough of all this stuff and gone back to the life we knew
And I’m stuck here in the big city with the country Christmas blues
Those country Christmases that we once knew
Once made me happy, now just make me blue
I’d turn the clock back if it were mine to choose
I’m stuck here in the big city with the country Christmas blues
