The Everly Brothers - Christmas Eve Can k** You lyrics

The winter's flaking snow is brushin' through the pinewood trees I stuff my hands down deep inside my coat I think of years ago and half remembered Christmas trees And faces that still warm me with their glow The cold and empty evening hangs around me like a ghost I listen to my footsteps in the snow The sound of one man walking through the snow can break your heart And stopping doesn't help, so on I'll go And Christmas eve can k** you When you're trying to hitch a ride to anywhere The icy air I'm breathin's all that keeps me on my feet I feel like I've been walking all my life A car goes runnin' by; the man don't even turn his head Guess he's busy bein' Santa Claus tonight The saddest part of all is knowin' if I switched with him I'd leave him stumbling ragged by the road I'd ride that highway to arms of my sweet family And forget about the stranger in the cold And Christmas eve can k** you When you're tryin' to hitch a ride to anywhere And as I walk I'm singing to myself 'O Silent Night' Hopin' I can save those other souls Oh, God forgive the man that drives right by the other man Take pity on the stranger in the cold Cause Christmas eve can k** you When you're tryin' to hitch a ride to anywhere
