Santa Had A Rough Year

The kids are sending letters

To the top of the world

And tearing paper rings

To count the days

Watching Frosty on the TV

With that little boy and girl

I'll try to fake some cheer

While this heart breaks

Cause he wants a new game, and a 10 speed and his very first guitar

She wants a Frozen plastic castle and a swing set in the yard

Chorus

But Santa had a rough year

So there won't be much here

Yeah that's the kinda news that's hard to break

Under that Charlie Brown tree

It's mostly dust and dead pine leaves

They can't sleep they're so excited while

I'm lying here wide awake

Cause Santa had a rough year

He picked up every shift, swallowed his pride, called his old man

When it's quiet on the rooftop, yeah those kids won't understand

Cause they're on the nice list, yeah he said so, when they met him at the mall

When they don't get what they want, how do you say it ain't their fault?

Santa had a rough year

So there won't be much here

Yeah that's the kinda news that's hard to break

Under that Charlie Brown tree

It's mostly dust and dead pine leaves

They can't sleep they're so excited while

I'm lying here wide awake

Cause Santa had a rough year

Yeah You can't wrap up the truth or

Tie those hard times with a bow

I hope they'll still believe in him

 even though

Santa had a rough year

Santa had a rough year

So there won't be much here

Yeah that's the kinda news that's hard to break

Under that Charlie Brown tree

It's mostly dust and dead pine leaves

They can't sleep they're so excited

While

I'm lying here wide awake

Cause Santa had a rough year
