Mama, Santa & Cowboys Lyrics

When the blue northern wind blows from New Mexico

On the prairie outside Amarillo

That's when my mama starts thinkin on Santa

And what he might bring her this year

No there ain't many gifts to put under the tree

Just a handwritten card from my mama to me

And mama said don't go a'wishin that he'd show

We're better off without him here

Mom, are you talkin' 'bout Santa

Cause I don't really get what your sayin'

Mama said Santa and Cowboys

Are kinda the same, 'n' don't ask me again

Mama says don't wait for Santa to come

He'll say he'll bring presents but don't you believe him

He's saddlin' up reindeer to bring all that good cheer

I ain't seen him yet but she swears he's for real

Mama said milk and cookies won't do for this year

So we're leaving him cigarettes, whiskey and beer

And mama's got a new dress for Santa this Christmas

I just hope that there's somethin' for me

Mom, are you talkin' 'bout Santa

Cause I don't really get what your sayin'

Mama said Santa and Cowboys

Are kinda the same, 'n' don't ask me again

Was the night before Christmas and I woke around one

I snuck out of my room to see if Santa would come

Saw him walk out the door, cowboy boots on I'm sure

And no gifts in his sack, but a big cowboy hat

Mom, are you talkin' 'bout Santa

Cause I don't really get what your sayin'

Mama said Santa and Cowboys

Are kinda the same, 'n' don't ask me again

Mom, are you talkin' 'bout Santa

Cause I don't really get what your sayin'

Mama said Santa and Cowboys

Are kinda the same, 'n' don't ask me again
