(Christmas) It's Christmas in Alabama

ABOUT THIS SONG

"Christmas in Alabama" is a warm, front-porch country Christmas song about coming home to the South for the holidays. There's no snow, just plastic snowmen in the yards, pumpkin pie, cousins coming in through the screen door, and Momma saving a place at the table. Sleigh bells, celesta, piano, and hand claps carry a feel-good story about trading big-city lights for the people you love at the end of a two-lane road. It's a reminder that home is where Christmas really happens.

A feel-good Southern Christmas song about coming home. No snow, just pumpkin pie, family, and Momma's porch light at the end of a two-lane road.

LYRICS

Sixty-two with the windows down
Takin' the long way through old downtown
Plastic snowmen wearin' ribbons and bows
Every porch and every window glows
That old Bradford pear in Momma's yard
Looks like somethin' off a Christmas card
Let somebody else have a sky of white
I got a front porch waitin' tonight

Turn down the drive, let the whole world wait
Momma's at the door sayin' go fix a plate
Last December, I was miles away
This year, Momma said she'd save my place

It's a Merry Christmas in Alabama
Pumpkin pie and the kids in pajamas
A little less snow, a little more soul
Everybody I love down a two-lane road
Light the tree and call your momma
It's Christmas in Alabama

No snow, ho-ho-ho
There's no place else I wanna go
No snow, ho-ho-ho
Christmas in Alabama

Cousins rollin' in to a screen door slam
Grandpa's sneakin' a slice of ham
Coffee's hot and the cards are dealt
Now he's loosenin' up his belt

It's a Merry Christmas in Alabama
Pumpkin pie and the kids in pajamas
A little less snow, a little more soul
Everybody I love down a two-lane road
Light the tree and call your momma
It's Christmas in Alabama

I've seen December dressed in white
Big-city windows shinin' bright
But all that sparkle couldn't quite
Outshine Momma's old porch light

It's a Merry Christmas in Alabama
Pumpkin pie and the kids in pajamas
A little less snow, a little more soul
Everybody I love down a two-lane road
Light the tree and call your momma
It's Christmas in Alabama

No snow, ho-ho-ho
There's no place else I wanna go
No snow, ho-ho-ho
This December, Momma saved my place
Christmas in Alabama
I'm home
