If We Make It Through December

If we make it through December 
Everything's gonna be all right I know 
It's the coldest time of winter 
And I shiver when I see the falling snow 
If we make it through December 
Got plans to be in a warmer town 
Come summer time 
Maybe even California 
If we make it through December 
We'll be fine 

Got laid off down at the factory 
And their timing's not the greatest 
In the world 
Heaven knows I've been working hard 
Wanted Christmas to be right 
For daddy's girl 
I don't mean to hate December 
It's meant to be the happy time of year 
And my little girl don't understand 
Why daddy can't afford no Christmas here
