WHITE CHRISTMASES IN HOUSTON (2:51)
PAUL STAGGS/SLICED BREAD MUSIC/BMI/2006
IF YOU DREAM OF HORSE-DRAWN CARRAIGES
DASHING THROUGH THE SNOW BEFORE YOU COME TO TEXAS
THERE'S SOMETHING YOU SHOULD KNOW

(CHORUS)
THEY DON'T HAVE WHITE CHRISTMASES IN HOUSTON
I'VE LIVED HERE MOST MY LIFE AND I SHOULD KNOWI'VE PRAYED AND I'VE PLEADED FOR WAY TO MANY YEARS
BUT THEY JUST DON'T HAVE WHITE CHRISTMASES DOWN HERE
I'VE HEARD OF WINTER CARNIVALS IN ASPEN
IT LOOKS JUST LIKE A WINTER WONDERLAND
BUT, REMEMBER WHILE YOU'RE FREEZIN'THROUGHOUT THIS CHRISTMAS SEASON
WE'LL BE DOWN HERE WITH CHRISTMAS CHEER
AND FLIP-FLOPS IN THE SAND
(CHORUS)
THEY DON'T HAVE WHITE CHRISTMASES IN HOUSTON
I'VE LIVED HERE MOST MY LIFE AND I SHOULD KNOWI'VE PRAYED AND I'VE PLEADED FOR WAY TO MANY YEARS
BUT THEY JUST DON'T HAVE WHITE CHRISTMASES DOWN HERE

I'VE SEEN ALL THOSE CHRISTMAS SHOWS ON TV BLANKETS OF WHITE POWDER MY HOW GRAND BUT WHILE YOU'VE GOT SNOW AND HOLLY WE'RE FEASTING ON TAMALES SITTING ON THE BACK PORCH WITH AN ICED TEA IN OUR HANDS

(CHORUS)
THEY DON'T HAVE WHITE CHRISTMASES IN HOUSTON
I'VE LIVED HERE MOST MY LIFE AND I SHOULD KNOWI'VE PRAYED AND I'VE PLEADED FOR WAY TO MANY YEARS
BUT THEY JUST DON'T HAVE WHITE CHRISTMASES DOWN HERE
