Alone on a midnight ride
He holds the reins real tight
Another town he left behind
Better than he found it
And he's got a ways to go
Before he can go back home
A woman's waiting at his door
Up all night worried about him
I've never claimed to catch a glimpse
Of the man they call Saint Nick
But the older that I get
The more I'm sure of it
You can't tell me Santa Ain't A Cowboy
He rides till the job is done
When those sleigh bells ring
We all love that sound boy
We all know he won't stay long
He'll hit the town and cross the plains
Through the snow and hail and rain
So I don't care what they say
You can't tell me Santa Ain't A Cowboy
He gives more than he takes
He ain't early, he ain't late
Every promise that he makes
Well he'll never break it
He might not wear my kind of hat
But you can't judge a man by that
It's a trail he leaves behind
It shows he ain't the quitting kind
So you can't tell me Santa Ain't A Cowboy
He rides till the job is done
When those sleigh bells ring
We all love that sound boy
We all know he won't stay long
He'll hit the town and cross the plains
Through the snow and hail and rain
So I don't care what they say
You can't tell me Santa Ain't A Cowboy
♪
If you believe her if you don't
If he's real or if he ain't
There's one thing that won't change
You can't tell me Santa Ain't A Cowboy
He rides till the job is done
When those sleigh bells ring
We all love that sound boy
We all know he won't stay long
He'll hit the town and cross the plains
Through the snow and hail and rain
So I don't care what they say
You can't tell me Santa Ain't A Cowboy
