Lyrics

When I was growing up and it started to snow
And we saw the Christmas lights all a’starting to glow
the whole town would light up with Christmas cheer
And everyone was grinning from ear to ear
Everywhere you went you’d hear people say Have a very merry Christmas and enjoy your day

But now that I am older everywhere I’m told
That saying merry Christmas is way too bold
The people in the city seem to get upset
By everything you do and every word you’ve said
When I see a city slicker I’m inclined to say
Have a redneck happy holiday

Have a redneck happy holiday
It’s the new old-fashioned American way
Cause we still believe that Jesus is the only way
For us to get to heaven so we’re proud to say
Merry Christmas but if that is not OK
Have a redneck happy holiday

Now I get that we’re people come from near and far
And a country where we all can follow our hearts
You can have your holidays and I’ll have mine
If you wish me Happy Hanukkah I’ll be just fine
But if my words offend you well that’s OK
Have a redneck happy holiday

Have a redneck happy holiday
It’s the new old-fashioned American way
Cause we still believe that Jesus is the only way
For us to get to heaven so we’re proud to say
Merry Christmas but if that is not OK
Have a redneck happy holiday

Have a redneck happy holiday
It’s the new old-fashioned American way
Cause we still believe that Jesus is the only way
For us to get to heaven so we’re proud to say
Merry Christmas but if that is not OK
Have a redneck happy holiday
