I'll arrive in my Santa suit and baby you can play my Mrs Claus, see if I can get you to sing my favourite Christmas songs.
I got your gift baby and you know you got mine, & there ain't no way I'm missing Christmas with you this time.

It gets a little colder ‘round here when you’re not home, I’m putting up the tree, wrapping gifts, the fire’s cracklin’ on, but Christmas ain’t the same when you’re on the road.
V2
Driving 12 hour days, the postie came, your words they fell like soft snowflakes, I could kill that boss of yours for keeping my man at Christmas time.
Ch -
Oh just you quit that old 18 wheels & come on home, I’ll play your Mrs Claus & sing your favourite Christmas songs....
We‘ll put some Otis on, forget the world gone wrong, pick up where we left off coz I ain’t missing Christmas with you this time.
V3
These nights are long, there’s a blizzard rolling in, they switched on the town Christmas lights, you weren’t there to keep me warm, no Christmas ain’t the same when you’re on the road.
V4
My very own little elf, I’m looking at an old picture of you in your Santa suit, I could kill that boss of yours for keeping my man at Christmas time.

Just you quit that old 18 wheels & come on home, I’ll play your Mrs Clause & sing your favourite Christmas song....

I’ve been pining all week drowning in my malt wine, when you arrived in that old Santa suit I nearly peed my pants, it’s that big kid in you, that make my heart jump & sing. It could be Halloween or New Year, as long as you’re by my wing.
V2 - (m)
It’s the one week of the year that takes me back, to them good ol’ white Christmases with a sleigh across my back, playing musical houses, not knowing if it’s new year or Halloween. Well I worked the last 2 so I ain’t missing this Christmas with you
Ch - (duo)
Oh, don’t you leave me lonesome one more Christmas Eve
go dancing & prancing underneath that ol’ mistletoe, not caring one snowflake if it’s New Year or Halloween
V3 - (m)
When I was sleighing across country, you never left my mind, it’s good to have them boots off and have my baby by my side, let’s stay up late, get drunk and sing them festive songs, I wasn’t much of a fan of Christmas but then you came along
V4 - (fem)
Now don’t you go blowing reindeer dust up my ass, bet you’ve said that to all the girls, boy I know your past but I don’t mind, or you’re mine now, you big old goofy elf. I had one Christmas wish, to have you here all to myself.
Ch, (duo)
oh, don’t you leave me lonesome one more Christmas Eve, lets got dancing & prancing underneath that ol’ mistletoe, not caring one snowflake if it’s New Year or Halloween
