Merry Christmas, I Tried Lyrics

Out of time, out of money, out of patience with a smile on my face

Cause it's Christmas time again and I thought that I had more time to waste

This wasn't my intention, might need an intervention again

(Oh no, no, no)

Oh, why did I wait, hesitate, I think I'm losing my mind

(Oh he's huffin, puffin and he's full of stuffin)

They're saying I'm too late but decorations are on aisle nine

(I hope she wants some tinsel, not a diamond or a crystal)

They got me paying top dollar so she won't know I forgot her again

The only place that open's the convenience store where all the dads are shopping cause they didn't before

I wonder what my wife got for the kids and for me, I should probably get something for under the tree

It's too late, I swear I paid, it'll be here few more days

(She isn't buyin, she can tell it when you're lyin)

I thought that I recovered right until I saw the look on her face

(Come on baby, listen, tis the season for forgiving)

I'm thinking that I shoulda, coulda, woulda, but I didn't again

(Oh, no, no, no)

The only thing that's open is the grocery store with all the papas hustling just to get in the door

I wonder what my wife is gonna do to me when she opens up the oven mitt from under our tree

The only thing that's open is the old liquor store

The kids have made their list, if it's not on it's a bore

I wonder if my wife is gonna get any sleep before the kids wake us up when they run to the tree

Made it through another year and I'm thinking that I did alright

(Boy, that was a close one, he felt the walls were closin)

Cause Christmas ain't about the things you get, it's just the fact that I tried

(Quicker every year and he's happy that it's here)

And if you wanted something more I'll run to the bargain store

I heard they got a sale on November's fall decor

Tried every one, I know that they all just hit ignore

I'm wishing that I woulda listened, but I didn't again
