Lyrics

It’s Christmas time again this year
Can’t believe it’s already here
Ain’t bought a single thing, o dear
I’m so far behind
I like to get my shopping done before
The lines get long in all the stores
I’ll spend more than we can afford
But hey it’s Christmas time
It’s Christmas time again you see
Lets go pick out the perfect tree
Is it leaning left or is it just me
Ah, honey looks just fine
We’ll hang the tinsel, string the lights
These ornaments will take all night
It’s a lot of work but that’s alright
It’s Christmas time.
We’ll eat too much and then we’ll swear again
That come New Year, we’re gettin in
The best shape that we’ve ever been
But we know we’re lying
So pass the pie and one more roll
And pass me that remote control
Ah, lookey’ here, I love this show
It’s Christmas time
It’s Christmas time, who’s at the door
I’m sure there’s room for 7 more
We’ll make some pallets on the floor
That’ll be just fine
The turkeys done, pull up a chair
Grab a hand, lets say a prayer
For all those soldiers over there
You know it’s Christmas time
We’ll wrap the gifts in green and red
You kids get back up in your bed
For Santa wont come in his sled
He’ll just fly right by
Then we’ll wake up in an hour or two
To mommy look, this ones for you
Oh I love it hun, I really do
It’s Christmas time
It’s Christmas time again, you know
It hit me just an hour ago
It ain’t about mistletoe
Lets keep that in mind
It’s about the star that led the way
The baby child born that day
It’s cause of him, we all say
It’s Christmas time

Perhaps the most famous—and dramatic—story is Kris Kristofferson’s unbelievable “dropped from the sky” introduction to Johnny Cash. In the late 1960s, Kristofferson—then an unknown young songwriter working as a janitor at Columbia Records in Nashville—had tried repeatedly to hand his demos to Cash, but always failed. His tapes would routinely get lost among the countless recordings the “Man in Black” received. Determined, Kristofferson—who’d served as a helicopter pilot in the military—took a daring step. During a National Guard training flight, he secretly altered the flight plan, piloted the helicopter himself, and landed it right in the yard of Johnny Cash’s home in Hendersonville, Tennessee. There are a few versions of what happened next. Cash often joked that Kristofferson emerged from the helicopter with a demo tape in one hand and a beer in the other. Kristofferson, however, insists he never drank beer while flying and wasn’t even sure Cash was home at the time. Whatever the precise truth, this audacious stunt worked beyond anyone’s imagination—it grabbed Johnny Cash’s attention in a powerful way. Not long after, Cash invited Kristofferson onstage at the Newport Folk Festival, and, most significantly, decided to record Kristofferson’s song “Sunday Mornin’ Comin’ Down.” That recording became a chart-topping hit, won the Country Music Association’s “Song of the Year,” and officially catapulted Kris Kristofferson to stardom.

“Tricia Lucus Kept The Last Song Toby Keith Wrote For Her – Because Of A Love Too Private, Too Deep” . It is said that Toby Keith wrote his last song for his wife, Tricia, but she never shared it with anyone. Not because of selfishness, but because there are things in love that are only for two people – no spotlight, no pretense, just the whispers between two hearts that have been together for nearly 40 years. 🎶 Listen again to ‘Forever Hasn’t Got Here Yet’ – a song Toby once sang: love sometimes doesn’t need to be proven, it just needs to exist.

Johnny Cash’s oldest brother Roy was the first Cash to make a small splash in the music industry. Roy started a band called the Dixie Rhythm Ramblers, who for a time had a show on radio station KCLN and played all around Arkansas. Johnny’s family also regularly sang spirituals together, either at the family home or at his grandparents’ dinner table. Johnny himself sang at school and in church, even once winning a talent show and the $5 that went with the victory. Despite his obvious interest in music and talent for it, Johnny wouldn’t get a guitar and start seriously writing songs until he joined the United States Air Force and was shipped away to Germany. His guitar, purchased in Oberammergau, cost about the same amount he’d won in that talent show years before. Soon, he was playing with a bunch of like-minded servicemen in a ragtag band branded the Landsberg Barbarians. He began to write songs, too, including the first version of his first big hit, “Folsom Prison Blues.” Although he would make half-hearted attempts to work a “real” job on his return from the service in 1954, mostly to support his new wife and children, Johnny Cash had found his path in life and pursued it from then on.

“I love this place like I love life itself,” Hank Jr. confessed, standing atop a granite ledge far above the valley floor where he once survived a harrowing 500-foot fall off Ajax Mountain in 1975. Despite that near-death experience, complete with the roar of rushing wind that felt like nature warning him to turn back, he remained a part-time resident of Montana for decades, describing its dense forests, sparkling rivers, and endless Big Sky as “probably the place that I love more than anywhere in the world.” That fierce connection to the land—and his unbreakable spirit—is perfectly captured in his signature anthem “A Country Boy Can Survive” by Hank Williams Jr., a song that makes you feel the call of the wild with every guitar strum and harmonica breath.
